L & M Palouse Farms

L & M Palouse Farms, milking Shorthorn cattle, Palouse, WA, is located in the Palouse region near Spokane.

Owner Dr. Marcie Logsdon brings a veterinary perspective to animal care, with routine health testing and detailed traceability records for every cow. Herds graze on rotational pasture through the spring and summer, and calves are grouped from birth to encourage early social interaction. They oversee a modest herd size that allows individual care and tailored nutrition plans for optimal health.

The farm’s milk is valued by local cheese makers for its steady, consistent creaminess and balanced flavor. Owners maintain registrations with the American Milking Shorthorn Society to ensure breed standards and conformation. They are active in regional agricultural fairs, showcasing herd performance and sharing husbandry insights with fellow breeders. Operations follow sustainable practices rooted in decades of family farming in eastern Washington.
