Bois d’Arc Farms, Pineywoods cattle, in Edinburg, VA, is nestled in the Shenandoah Valley near Harrisonburg. The farm follows breed standards and maintains detailed herd records while working with local veterinarians for routine health screenings.

Their cattle graze on open pasture with daily handling to help calves develop a calm temperament. The operation emphasizes rotational grazing and sustainable land stewardship to preserve pasture quality and promote animal welfare.

Visitors often remark on the herd’s even temper and adaptability to local grassland conditions. Regular pasture assessments, shaded shelters, and fresh water stations ensure comfort and resilience across seasons. Each year, calves are weaned naturally and receive gradual introduction to supplementary forage, reflecting the farm’s emphasis on animal-driven schedules, holistic nutrition, and low-stress handling.
