Bois D'Arc

Bois D’Arc breeds Pineywoods cattle in Uniontown, AL, Perry County and the Black Belt near Montgomery. Martha Skelley has led the operation for more than a decade, maintaining full registration and following recommended health testing for genetic integrity and herd longevity.

Animals are raised on mixed-grass pastures with ample shade and rotational grazing, allowing natural foraging and robust development through each season. Young cattle receive daily handling from birth, fostering calm temperaments and positive interactions with handlers and visitors on the family’s homestead.

The farm follows principles of sustainable land management and pasture diversity to promote soil health, water conservation and biodiversity across the rolling countryside. Regular veterinary check-ups and targeted mineral supplementation support maternal health, while clean calving pens and attentive monitoring ensure the well-being of cows and calves alike. A reputation for steady dispositions and adaptability to local climates reflects a long-standing commitment to breed preservation and practical farm stewardship.
