Wishing Well Farm

Wishing Well Farm, a miniature zebu breeder in Greenville, South Carolina, works in the Piedmont region. Patricia Kirby has bred miniature zebu for over a decade on her family farm and is an active member of the American Zebu Association, maintaining regular genetic evaluations, parasite testing and routine foot care for each animal. The herd grazes on managed pastures with a rotational system that encourages diverse forage growth and supports healthy soil structure.

Calves are handled gently from birth, spending time each day with family members to develop trust and calm temperaments. Their miniature size and low-impact grazing style make them well suited to small-acreage settings and conservation projects alike. The farm also maintains shelter barns, shade structures and clean water access to ensure animal comfort in all seasons. Community members note the cattle’s gentle nature and the farm’s thoughtful stewardship practices.
