Dexter says, "when I was seven years old my father gave me a heifer calf, and I’ve been in the cattle business ever since, it has been and will continue to be a great honour to be the oldest man ever to be in Australia.” The centenarian who was raised by German immigrants has written 13 books, with his most recent one being an autobiography, Dexter said his writing is one of the things that keeps him going. 7News.com.
