A RARE-BREED bull calf has been born at the home of a Teesside charity.

The pint-size male, which has not yet been given a name, is of the Dexter breed.

When fully grown these cattle are about one-third the size of an average size cow of other breeds.

His mother, Willo, gave birth at the appropriately named Calf Fallow Farm, Norton, Stockton, the home of Daisy Chain, a charity that provides a respite care and support centre for families who have children with autism.
