Cattle carrying the ELCX prefix have been widely accepted at sale
venues across the country. From hosting their own annual production
sale, to consigning cattle to premier sale, cattle bred in their program

and raised in Duplin County, Dexter said they are consistently
searching for ways to give back.
“Our efforts here are because the county has been so good to us,”

and I wouldn’t trade it for anything else in the world.”
