Your weekly window into the world of Dexter — the news, the market, and the genetics moving right now.

Week of September 14 – September 21, 2026

🖋 The State of the Dexter

This week the Dexter marketplace saw 35 new listings from 9 seller sites across 3 countries, down from 38 last week. The inventory consisted of 1 embryo and 34 semen samples. Among the 29 priced semen offerings, the median asking price per straw was $89. The United States led with 27 listings, followed by the United Kingdom with 5 and Canada with 3. The most frequently offered sires were Barnston Mickey Mouse M2244 Dun Bd1‑C Short, Belle Fourche Mon Coco, Belle Fourche Mr. Right, Purebred Hereford, and Saltaire Silver (Polled) M2707 Black, each appearing twice.

The current snapshot reveals a steady but slightly reduced flow of new inventory, with the same narrow range of sire options and a consistent median price on semen. No additional market events were reported for this week.
