Windy Knoll Farm

Windy Knoll Farm, Scottish highland cattle, Nokesville, VA, is located in Prince William County and Northern Virginia near Washington. Established in 1986 under Don Taylor, the farm maintains membership in national cattle associations, implements regular veterinary checkups, and follows recommended health testing protocols for common genetic conditions.

Scottish highland cattle graze on managed pastures with year-round access to shelter, mineral supplements, and fresh water. Animals receive calm, hands-on socialization from an early age to promote easy handling and a herd that is both approachable and resilient. Each calf is born and raised on-site with individualized attention during calving season to ensure healthy growth and early bonding.

The herd’s sturdy conformation and even temperament suit small-scale operations, hobby farms, and first-time ranchers looking for a gentle breed. Daily low-stress handling, rotational grazing practices, and winter-feeding programs reflect the farm’s commitment to animal welfare and sustainable pasture management.
