On a Whim Farm
​
On a Whim Farm is a hobby farm based in Culpeper, VA. I raise and sell standard, mid size, and mini Jersey dairy cows , Highland cows, and the occasional sport horse.
Jersey Cows
I raise mini, mid size, and small standard Jersey cows. I focus chose this dairy breed because of their easy temperaments. ​I mainly have A2/A2 cows but also have the occasional A1/A2 cow available, as well as Jersey crosses.
The herd is disease tested on a regular basis for BLV, BVD, Brucellosis, and Johnes. Additionally, any cows born outside of Virginia or transported from outside of Virginia are tested for TB. Virginia is a TB-free state.
