Judith Metcalf

Judith Metcalf, farm animal breeder in Virginia, Central Virginia near Richmond, raises small farm animals at Second Chance Farm. She has worked with these animals for several years, aligns her breeding program with established health guidelines, and takes part in regional livestock associations.

Each newborn has access to carefully maintained spacious pastures and daily socialization to build genuine confidence and resilience. Her emphasis on temperament and early handling has resulted in consistently calm and well-adjusted stock. The farm’s mix of pasture rotations and shelter design provides a stable natural rural environment year-round.

Many of her animals have gone on to thrive in smallholder settings, therapy programs, and hobby farms. Regular health screenings include stool analysis, hoof trimming, and parasite control under veterinary guidance. Detailed records and transparent communication with new owners reflect her commitment to ethical breeding and long-term support.
