Short Stack Farms

Short Stack Farms is a Scottish highland cattle breeder in South Boston, VA, Southside Virginia near Danville.

Led by Sheena Wilkins, it draws on years of experience and maintains membership in national cattle associations with regular health screenings and pedigree records. Calves are raised on rotating pastures and receive daily hands-on care to promote gentle temperaments and strong immune systems.

The herd grazes across acres of native grasslands, where sustainable grazing practices support soil health and animal wellbeing. A family-rooted operation, the farm embraces traditional husbandry alongside modern welfare standards to ensure balanced nutrition and stress-free growth. Each breeding cycle follows a carefully timed program to support calving ease and long-term herd vitality. Routine veterinary partnerships allow for early disease detection and individualized nutrition planning. Winter hardening on wind-protected paddocks helps calves adapt to natural seasonal changes without stress or temperament challenges.
