Poindexter Farms

Poindexter Farms is a Scottish Highland cattle breeder in Silaom, NC, in the Piedmont Triad near Greensboro. Founded in 2008 by Daniel Poindexter, it combines family farm traditions with modern health protocols and longstanding engagement in breed communities. Registrations with national breed associations, mandatory genetic testing for known disorders and routine veterinary screenings support herd health and compliance.

Animals graze on open pastures and receive daily attention, emphasizing gentle handling and early socialization. Secure fencing, well-ventilated shelters and a rotational grazing system help maintain pasture quality and animal comfort. A balanced diet of locally sourced hay and mineral supplements complements pasture grazing to support steady growth and resilience.

On-site water sources are protected and monitored to ensure environmental stewardship and a balanced ecosystem. This approach reflects respect for the breed’s hardy heritage and aims to provide cattle suited to both small-scale farms and hobby herds.
