Whispering Hills Farm

Whispering Hills Farm is raising Heritage shorthorn cattle in Dallas, Oregon, serving Polk County and the Willamette Valley near Salem. Joe Dvms has more than a decade of experience and holds registrations with recognized livestock associations alongside routine health screenings for all herds.

Calves spend early weeks grazing in open pastures and socializing near the farmhouse, with nightly shelter in well-ventilated barns that mirror natural herd conditions. The farm’s eye for heritage traits has led to recognition at state fairs, where animals are noted for their quiet temperaments and sturdy frames. The farm emphasizes low-stress handling and open communication with fellow breeders to maintain best practices.

Its approach seeks to preserve the breed’s historic characteristics while adapting to modern standards of sustainable agriculture. Feedback from neighboring farmers highlights the farm’s reliability and the calm nature of calves even in busy farm environments.
