Cows
I raise mini, mid size, and small standard Jersey cows with the goal of creating healthy, social and well-mannered family milk cows that embody the best characteristics of a Jersey. All of these cows are located on my farm in Culpeper, VA. They are easy keepers - pastured raised and supplemented with hay in the winter. They receive minimal grain, which is used as a treat and for training purposes.
I focus on A2/A2 cows but also have the occasional A1/A1 and A1/A2 cow available, as well as Jersey crosses.
The herd is disease tested on a regular basis.
Click on the name of each cow to find out more about that cow.
Please check out our purchasing info and cow FAQs.
Announcements: Please check out the On a Whim Farm Facebook page for the latest sales, breeding, and pregnancy announcements! I have several Jerseys available that are not yet listed on the website. Please call or text _703-989-9545 for more information.
