Ridge And Valley Appalachian Farm

Ridge And Valley Appalachian Farm raises cattle in Elkton, VA in Rockingham County and the Shenandoah Valley near Harrisonburg. The farm has welcomed healthy cattle herds for more than a decade and follows industry-recommended herd health protocols from local extension services and national beef cattle associations, including vaccination schedules and routine testing for common diseases. Animals graze on gently rolling grasslands, access fresh water at all times and benefit from daily enrichment through hands-on handling sessions that foster a calm disposition.

Owners emphasize rotational grazing and soil-building practices to maintain pasture productivity and support long-term sustainability of the farm ecosystem. Calves grow up on a family-owned hillside property with sheltered loafing areas, and each animal receives regular hoof trims and general care to promote strong growth. Visitors often remark on the farm’s tranquil setting and the team’s clear dedication to animal welfare, rooted in generations of stewardship.
