Black Sun Farm

Black Sun Farm, Durham cattle, Felton, DE, Kent County and the Delmarva Peninsula near Dover, runs a pasture-rich historic operation. The farm has been committed to breeding Durham cattle with a focus on robust health and gentle temperament. Its herd management follows established breed guidelines set by recognized associations, including regular health screenings. Periodic collaboration with regional extension services keeps it updated on veterinary, nutrition, and breeding best practices.

Young cattle spend their first months on open pasture and benefit from daily human interaction, while sheltered barns offer protection during colder seasons. Calves remain with their mothers for natural nursing, promoting steady growth, strong maternal bonds, and early social skill development. The farm’s approach emphasizes low-stress handling and rotational grazing, reflecting respect for animal welfare and ecological balance. Located on family-owned land, the operation maintains a calm, year-round setting that encourages natural behaviors.
