OUR COWS...
We are making big changes at the farm as we move through this year 2026. We have opened a new General Store in our town square with the leading of our Lord, so life will find us very busy this year. And with this, we need to re-arrange our daily work load at our farm to make life easier to manage. We lost our son on Christmas night 2024. Cody was a big part of our lives and the farm, maintaining our fields and just being our son...he will live on in our hearts and memories...but it is tough on us finding that "new normal".
We have sold a few of our best cows and bulls to bless other farms and to reach our goal of reduction. Please give us a call if you are interested in any newly weaned calves for the 2026 season, as they appear on our pages here. This reduction should make it easier to manage day to day, but it is not a "fire sale". :-)
We also have a few cows who have simply aged out, passed away naturally from old age and a few will just be pastured here until they cross the rainbow bridge in the future...they will not be bred again...they have earned their retirement!
THANK YOU for all the new homes! :-)


~ WE CHOOSE EXCELLENCE AND HONESTY AS OUR STANDARDS ~

We raise and train, small dairy cows for families who want their own dairy supply. We DO NOT sell to dairies, nor do we sell "pets", except for smaller steers on occasion. All of our hand raised cattle are pet friendly.

Our cattle are disease tested (and negative) twice yearly for BLV, BVD and Johne's. We also randomly test for Neospora and other diseases in our herd...they remain negative to date. We do not vaccinate our herd, with the only exception of Brucella, if we intend to sell the heifer at some point before maturity. We maintain a strictly closed herd and test any purchased animals twice prior to blending with our herd. WSF is a TB free farm.

Our focus is primarily miniature at maturity in size followed by excellent confirmation, well attached udders, gentle temperaments, natural polling, select superb pedigrees and the original Island Jersey "look". And of course, we love our paints! :-)

We do not own any cattle that are Chondrodysplasia (BD1-BD2) positive. Current test results are provided with every sale. All of our calves (including our bulls) are hand raised by us, receive colostrum direct from their dams for the first 3 - 4 days of life, then are bottle fed from their own dams' milk until weaning at 3-5 months. They are handled daily to assure that they grow up gentle and compatible with humans as their caregivers. All of our cattle are grass fed on regularly mowed, unsprayed pastures, supplemented with non-GMO Chaffhaye and certified organic alfalfa pellets given at milking time.

We do not post cattle photos on these pages that we no longer own (unless noted) or are deceased, to make our pages appear full, as some sites will do. If the cow has been sold or is deceased, it is clearly stated.
Our photos and/or information on this website are copyright protected and may not be used public or private, without our prior written consent. All photos and heights posted are current. All of our cattle are DNA parent confirmed.

You've seen the rest, now buy the best!
Enjoy your tour of our farm and let us know if you have any questions. :-)



Spring has sprung once again at the farm! The north Georgia Mountains are alive once more with the greening up of pastures and flowers abounding everywhere!

WHITE STAR FARM PICKLES
photo taken: 09.20.2026


Miss Pickles is turning out to be a farm favorite. She is very small and we are hoping that she grows more in the future. We are not interested in "micro" mini's here. Not a speck of paint on her, but we like our solid fawn colored cows, too! She will carry on the bloodlines of her sire, WSF Montery Jack, who sired 5 very small offspring here and none have outgrown the 40" miniature status as of yet.
​​

Miss Pickles has has been confirmed in calf with her second calf, with WSF Peter Piper for a late 2026 calf. :-)

We are pleased to find this fine little heifer, as she was not at all expected this early! She is smaller than her mama was at the same age and seems to be staying in the mini range of height. She will be retained for her historical bloodlines for the future here at the farm.

GINGER TEA OF WHITE STAR FARM



photo taken: 04.20.2026



We purchased a small group of cows a few years back, from a friend who was getting out of farming. We sold this little cow to a family who no longer wants her...so we're brought her back to the farm. It seems that many people are buying in to the a2 theory for health, but we are still not sold on it. We believe that the diseases that cows carry are far more detrimental to human health, than the beta casein!
​

We are pleased to add this little jewel back to our herd after testing completely negative for BLV, Johne's and Neospora, which are the main things we have a zero tolerance for on our farm. Welcome home, little Ginger!


Miss Ginger has been confirmed in calf with WSF Peter Piper for her next calf, late 2026/early 2027. We love this very small and sweet little cow!

WHITE STAR FARM BLEU BONNET

We were so pleased to find this little heifer already standing and by her dam in the field. She is the very first offspring out of our bull WSF Peter Piper...and what a gift she is! Bonnet will be retained to carry on her mama's genetics on our farm. We could not ask for a better or more beautiful heifer to carry on for her lineage!


Miss Bonnet has been confirmed in calf with hopefuly, WSF Deacon...DNA will confirm the sire of her calf, due later this year.

B H WINNIE
photo taken: 06.11.2025



We purchased a small group from some dear friends in VA and Miss Winnie was in the group. She gave us a beautiful heifer, WSF Inez, as her first calf, then WSF Roxie as her second and now has delivered WSF Dove. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>


She has continued to give yet another painted heifer, WSF Phoebe, for 2024! Four heifers in a row!

Winnie has actual Jersey Island genetics in her and they come through in her calves!

Winnie is most excellent about standing to milk untied, and is the first at the door when it comes her turn to enter the parlor! ...nothing at all slack about this cow!


B H Winnie has delivered a small and lightly painted bull calf this morning, 04/11/26. Both are doing fine. We have named the bull calf "WSF Doodad, he is the friendliest little guy already! He will be retained here for a long time, as a possible herd sire. See him on Our Bulls page. :-)

WSF LITTLE DOVE
photo taken: 09.10.2025



When Dove was born, we thought we had lost her...she was lifeless, but after working with her for a bit, she came around and is doing fine today. If she had been a bull, we'd have named her "Lazarus"!! She has an almost perfect white "dove" as her star, hence, her name.
​

Dove has been bottle raised with her friend, Bleu Bonnet and the two have become inseparable! Cows do indeed develop friendships and these two are 'besties".


Miss Dove has been confirmed in calf with WSF Cisco or WSF Deacon for a Spring 2026 calf...she is bagging up now for the birth!

ANSLEY MARTIN'S MINNIE
photo taken: 04.24.2026



AM Minnie is a mature cow. She is a gentle milking cow now, but came to us quite wild...she had never been loved on with a gentle hand, nor milked. She will live her life out here at our farm because she doesn't trust new people easily. It took us a year to get her to trust us. :-) She allows us to milk and handle her now and seems to enjoy it, but is still very wary of strangers. Her udder is poorly attached in the rear and is not the best from past mishandling, but we deal with it and she milks out completely for us.

Miss Minnie has been confirmed pregnant for the second time, so we'll see when she calves later this year! Will keep posted here with the results. She is bagging up now!


Minnie's pedigree is a historical one, since she comes from the original farm and stock of Ralph Martin (now deceased) and Martin is considered the original "godfather" of this breed by people in the know. He is credited for being one of the first few to originate this breed that we enjoy today. His only son carries on his fathers' legacy still today with descendants from Martin's original herd. The Martin's never participated in any registry, so we do not know exact parentage on Minnie. We love this beautiful cow!

WHITE STAR FARM LIL' ANGEL
photo taken: 06.10.2025



Our sweet little Angel has not disappointed us yet. We waited and waited for a second nice heifer from her grand dam, Antoinette...and got Angel's dam, WSF Seraphina...Angel then came to us through Phina...she has certainly not disappointed!


Miss Angel has delivered a tall bull calf, that will be steered soon for the freezer. Not every bull born here gets to become a future herd sire. We are very picky to keep only the best "intact" here. :-)


Angel's pedigree goes back to one of the very best and earliest in this breed, to Terry Lawson, of Virginia. We are pleased to be able to continue these lines on our farm for the future of this breed. Angel is the epitome of what a miniature Jersey should look like...petite, with all of the Island Jerseys compliments.

ELEVAGE FARM ESME



photo taken: 04.20.2026




We have decided to purchase this calf from our local friends, after she was offered to us. What a blessing she is! Her owner purchased our twin heifers a few years ago. We sold her the semen to breed them for their first calves...and Esme is one of those calves. We then brought the twins with their new calves here to train to milk....and to get the calves on bottle. Then they were returned home.

Esme will be raised here and trained to milk as a future provider for us. We are thrilled to be able to own her and her bloodlines on our farm. We are grateful and honored to have Esme call White Star Farm, home. :-)


We will be placing Esme and Willow together with WSF Deacon or Renegade Red, later this summer for their first calves.

Around the farm...



These are photos from various days around the farm and they are updated
continuously throughout the year.



Meet Big Red and ****!



Big Red HAD a girlfriend named "Brenda"...key word here, "had". Miss Brenda decided to nest in the woods and something got her. The eggs were already cold, so we lost her and her babies. Now, looking for a new girlfriend or two for Big Red. Updates when we locate them! Big Red patrols his barnyard for us...better than a security dog! lol


We did raise out 7 poults to almost 18lbs for Thanksgiving! And they were delish! Will try again this year. :-)


Andy, the Peacock...


I have always admired Peafowl...and finally get to own some. We now have several mature Black Shouldered peahens, one India Blue peahen and one India Blue peacock...truly amazingly beautiful birds! He is trying out his new style, showing off for the girls and me! From my research, these birds can live up to 50 years if taken care of.

Andy is six years old now and coming into his full plummage.

Although still young, he'll be fiercely beautiful one day! :-)


My hiding place...


We put a beautiful flower garden in a few years ago. It has now grown together and filled the space well and is my place of peace. There is color from something blooming, for each month of the year.


Set time aside each day to enjoy God's beauty around you, be thankful and content with what you have and spend time with Him in His written Word, the Holy Bible and prayer.
You can and will find true peace with Him. :-)


Andy, the Peacock watching over the farm...


These very large birds are nothing short of amazing. What on earth was God thinking when He created such beauty for us to enjoy?? The colors, patterns, sizes, habits...so amazing! :-)

We were told by his breeder, that they are not tamable, to enjoy them from pens. Ours roam the barnyard freely and have been here over four years now. So, don't tell them they are not supposed to be free...:-) This photo was taken as he got to his post to watch over his girls.


Our cows are trained and handled from birth, to milk in the future. When they come fresh for the first time, they know what to expect. At that time, we train them to milk without halters, tying or use of a stanchion....they just stand patiently while we wash them, milk by hand or machine, dip them to prevent mastitis, then turn them out in the field for grazing. This is why we call them "family milk cows". We give them a treat of non GMO Chaffhaye and organic alfalfa pellets as a top dressing treat, to thank them for their bounty. We never use grains on our farm, even organic grains, with our cows in milk, young calves or with our bulls. When pastures are sparse, we use alfalfa/orchard hay in the manger as an additional treat.



WSF Little Dove - 04.12.2025


Little Dove is a first calf heifer as well as this is her first freshening. She is doing most excellent! We train all of our cows to milk untied and without halters. We've never owned a stanchion in all the years we've been milking. This is how we train our girls. :-) Dove is about one week fresh in this photo and stand perfectly for us.



BH Winnie - 04.10.2025


Miss Winnie has given us FOUR a2a2 heifers in a row and presented us with a gorgeous a2a2 bull calf this time! The sire is confirmed to be WSF Peter Piper. Winnie will break through the door to come in to milk "first"! She is an alpha cow, but is super gentle...and milks like a dream...empties fast and completely. Hoping her heifers grow up to do the same! Winnie has a Jersey Island bull as her great grandsire on both sides of her lineage....La Peperinere Renegade. Beginning to shed out the winter coat now. :-)


WSF Bleu Bonnet - 04.12.2025


Miss Bonnet is also a first calf heifer as well as this is her first time fresh. We train all of our heifers and cows to stand for us, without a stanchion being used. We begin working with them about two weeks before they calve, to get them used to how we milk here. Bonnet did great on her first time! No kicking or moving away...they eat their treats and comply nicely. This is what family milk cows are all about! :-)


WSF Firefly - 02.12.2022


Miss Firefly is out of Frazier's Emma, a fabulous MJ milk cow! She turns very blond after shedding out from winter. Don't let the small stature of this little golden white cow fool you! Firefly is a cookie cutter version of her mama. She is waiting to be hooked up to the machine...a very patient first calf heifer with a beautiful and well attached udder.
