Sun Moon Farm

Sun Moon Farm breeds Milking Devon cattle in Advance, North Carolina, in Yadkin Valley and the Piedmont Triad near Winston-Salem. Charles and Patricia Howell follow national registry programs and rigorous health-testing protocols to track lineage and ensure herd well-being. With extensive experience in livestock management, they maintain high standards for animal welfare and environmental stewardship. Their herd pedigree records date back several generations, reflecting steady and careful refinement of milk production and temperament.

The Howell family prioritizes pasture-based grazing with rotational fields and gentle handling to support natural behaviors. Each spring, calves benefit from nutrient-rich fresh grass and careful monitoring during weaning. Each pasture is bordered by wooded shelterbelts that provide shade and protection through seasonal changes. Customers mention calm temperaments and consistent milk yields in their animals, highlighting the farm’s commitment to practical dairy farming rooted in local traditions.
