Garden Gate Lavender Farm

Garden Gate Lavender Farm raises Holstein cattle in Spokane, WA, in the Inland Northwest near Coeur d'Alene, rooted in regional dairy traditions. The farm follows recognized health-testing protocols, registers calves through the Holstein Association USA and applies selective mating to maintain both production quality and genetic health.

Its Holstein herd grazes on open grasslands by day and moves to airy barns each night to encourage natural social behaviors and physical fitness. Owner Vivian begins gentle handling with new calves before they leave the maternity pen, building trust that carries through routine veterinary and milking care. A rotational grazing schedule promotes pasture health, while attention to feed quality and mineral balance supports consistent growth and lactation performance.

Local farmers appreciate the even temperament and ease of handling that characterizes the young stock on this farm setting. This balanced approach supports animal welfare and community, reflecting a breeding philosophy that values health over production-driven goals.
