Wind Swept Homestead

Wind Swept Homestead milking Devon cattle in Jonesville, VA, Lee County and the Appalachian Highlands near Knoxville. Owner Sam Peck has managed the farm for several years, following recommended health screening protocols and participating in regional breeders associations to support herd health and genetic diversity.

The cattle graze on rotational pastures rich in native grasses, with shelters regularly stocked with straw bedding, mineral blocks, and fresh water. Calves are lightly handled from birth to promote calm temperaments and ease of routine care. Daily observations and individualized attention help detect any health concerns early, reflecting a hands-on approach. A small bank barn on the property allows for sheltered milking sessions and dry resting areas for cows.

The homestead’s rolling fields and simple barns echo traditional Appalachian farming methods passed down locally. Many visitors note the herd’s sturdy build and steady disposition, qualities valued by small dairy and homestead operations alike.
