Idlehour Farm

Idlehour Farm, Galloway cattle, Mount Sidney, VA, Augusta County and the Shenandoah Valley near Harrisonburg.

Idlehour Farm is a member of the American Galloway Cattle Association and adheres to recommended health testing for calving ease and maternal performance. The family-run herd has been shaped over several breeding cycles to emphasize adaptability to seasonal forage and structural soundness.

Herds graze on mixed grasses across rotational paddocks, with routine hoof trimming and parasite control integrated into each cycle. Calves are handled gently from birth and spend time in sheltered paddocks to promote healthy growth and social confidence. Waterways are protected by wooded buffers and no hormones or unnecessary antibiotics are used to support pasture health. Shade trees scattered along fencelines offer respite during summer months. Many local buyers mention the gentle temperament and balanced conformation of the cattle, reflecting attentive husbandry throughout every stage.
