Shepherds Knoll Farm

Shepherds Knoll Farm, run by Barry Martin, raises Dexter cattle in Rice, Virginia, in the south-central part of the state near Farmville and roughly an hour southwest of Richmond.

The farm grew from a family commitment to more natural living, with an emphasis on keeping animals on organic pasture rather than in confinement. Pasture management and animal husbandry at Shepherds Knoll are guided by a firm avoidance of chemicals, hormones, and unnatural inputs. The herd is raised on 100% grass, and the farm produces grass-fed Dexter beef alongside pastured poultry and eggs.

Shepherds Knoll is a member of the American Dexter Cattle Association, connecting its program to the broader network of registered Dexter cattle breeders. Those looking for Dexter cattle for sale in Virginia will find this operation grounded in whole-farm, pasture-based values that extend across every animal on the property.
