Hacienda Radiante LLC

Hacienda Radiante LLC breeds Milking Devon cattle in Catlett, VA, serving Fauquier County and Northern Virginia near Manassas. Karen Spiegelthal has raised these heritage animals for over a decade, maintains records with the American Milking Devon Association and follows its guidelines for genetic evaluation and health screening. The herd undergoes routine veterinary checks, including somatic cell count monitoring and parasite control.

Their cattle graze on rotational pastures irrigated with rainwater catchment and retreat to spacious barns equipped with soft bedding. Low-stress handling is central to daily routines, and calves enjoy early socialization with farm families and resident goats. The farm’s balanced feeding plan combines pasture diversity with minimal supplemental grains.

Committed to preserving historic bloodlines, Hacienda Radiante LLC fosters shared learning within the Devon community through informal farm gatherings and occasional presentations at agricultural events. This approach supports strong maternal traits and resilient herds that thrive in varied weather.
