Woodgate Farm

Woodgate Farm, miniature zebu in the eastern United States near Philadelphia, has been raising small cattle with attention to health and temperament. Leah Ward has over a decade of hands-on experience managing small-cattle breeds and maintains a herd health protocol with routine veterinary checks and essential vaccinations.

Miniature zebu are known for their heat tolerance and efficient grazing, which this farm highlights through shaded paddocks and nutrient-rich forage blends. The cattle graze on diverse pasture by day and use shelter barns at night, and calves learn to trust handlers through consistent socialization. Breeding stock is selected for sturdy frame and calm character, making them well suited to family farms and small-scale dairy projects. The farm’s rotational grazing system supports soil health and provides varied nutrition each season.

Leah Ward encourages educational visits and shares insights on low-maintenance livestock management. Visitors often note the farm’s welcoming atmosphere and the animals’ gentle nature.
