Morning Star Meadows

Morning Star Meadows milking Devon cattle in Fairfield, VA are nestled in Highland County and the Shenandoah Valley near Staunton. Kent and Leann Gibson have been raising milking Devon cattle for several years and maintain active registration with the American Milking Devon Cattle Association.

As a family-run operation, Morning Star Meadows emphasizes sustainable practices and hands-on care to preserve the gentle nature and productivity of milking Devon cattle.
