Karin Mustoe

Karin Mustoe raises Hereford cattle in Nokesville, VA, in Prince William County and the Piedmont near Washington, D.C. She has been breeding Hereford cattle for over a decade and holds membership in the American Hereford Association, ensuring all animals undergo regular health testing.

The herd grazes on rotational pastures to support natural foraging, and calves are introduced to daily human interaction for gentle temperaments. Animals receive a balanced diet of forage supplemented with locally sourced grains and mineral licks, and barns provide shelter during colder months. Regular veterinary partnerships support preventative care protocols, including vaccinations and hoof trimming schedules.

The farm’s history spans two generations, with a focus on sustainable grazing and animal welfare deeply rooted in past experience. Detailed records of lineage and medical screenings accompany each animal, reflecting a commitment to transparency and attentive care. Community engagement includes local fair participation that highlights the breed’s traits.
