Echo's End Farm

Echo’s End Farm raises Highland cattle in Standardsville, VA in Central Virginia near Charlottesville. They adhere to recommended health screenings including regular veterinary checkups, hoof inspections, and genetic evaluations, and participate in national and regional livestock organizations. Their cattle graze on well­managed pastures, rotating paddocks seasonally to support soil health, and calves spend early weeks with family members to promote gentle handling and social confidence.

Reviewers often mention the herd’s calm temperament, noting sturdy frames and soft coats that adapt well to varying weather conditions. The Dooleys emphasize genetic diversity, selecting bloodlines for resilience and longevity rather than solely for exhibition traits. Operating from a family­run farmstead, they maintain barn and field facilities that reflect a hands­on philosophy and a respect for agricultural tradition. They support local agricultural events and collaborate with nearby 4-H clubs to promote responsible livestock stewardship and breed education.
