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. :-)



Fall has come upon the mountains this year quickly, it seems! The deer are coming around now to show us their young! This doe has brought another set of twins to hang around this year 2026!

WHITE STAR FARM PICKLES
photo taken: 07.12.2026


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 delivered, but lost in the night, a painted bull calf with WSF Peter Piper. The little fellow just never got warmed up and died in the chilly night. :-(

WHITE STAR FARM DANDY

Meet our little first calf heifer, WSF Dandy. Her lineage goes back to a lady in Weirsdale, Florida, who was in the developing days of this MJ breed...we have kept some of her genetics on our farm over the years.


They all have had the best dispositions and beautiful conformations. And Miss Dandy is carrying this line on for us.


Miss Dandy is being pasture exposed to WSF Benji for her next calf in 2027.

GINGER TEA OF WHITE STAR FARM



photo taken: 07.12.2026



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, 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 delivered a fine, fawn colored, very small heifer, we have named "Marianne" (think Gilligan's Island, here). Both Mama and daughter are doing fine. They are also found on our sale page to a new home as a pair. Marianne is being bottle fed at this time, as we do all of our young. We currently have more milk than we can manage...

WHITE STAR FARM BLEU BONNET



photo taken: 07.12.2026




Bleu Bonnet is out of one of our very best cows, ever! J A Buttercup and our boy, WSF Peter Piper created this gorgeous little first cow. We could not ask for a better or more beautiful cow to carry on for her lineage! She was easy to train, breeds, calves and milks like a champ! We pray for many years with Bonnet here providing for us.


UPDATE:
Miss Bonnet has delivered a tiny little heifer today, Sunday, August 9th at noon! We will have DNA done to confirm the sire, but this little heifer is small! Her first measurement at standing, is right at 20". We will give her time to dry off and eat her first meal now...THANK YOU, JESUS for a healthy uneventful birth for both Bonnet and Bleu

Moonbeam! :-) She looks just like her mama and grandmama, JA Buttercup!

B H WINNIE

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 been placed with WSF Deacon for her next calf.

Her recent bull calf, WSF Doodad, can be seen on Our Bulls page

WSF LITTLE DOVE
photo taken: 07.12.2026



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 is being exposed to WSF Benji for her next calf late this year or early next year, 2027.....we are excited to see what Benji brings to the table!

ANSLEY MARTIN'S MINNIE
photo taken: 11.02.2026



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 placed with WSF Benji for her next calf in summer of 2027, Lord willing. :-)


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 and "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!

We are more than pleased to welcome WSF Shiloh to our herd. She will be retained for a future milk cow here. Her dam is one of my favorites, WSF Seraphina and her sire is, WSF Trinity. Trinity comes out of our WSF Peter Piper and has not disappointed us yet, in what he has brought to the table here at the farm so far!

ELEVAGE FARM ESME



photo taken: 06.30.2026




I have decided that Miss Esme, is everything and more we look for in our Jerseys! She has the flawless Jersey head and style. What a blessing she is! We purchased Miss Esme from a dear friend of ours after she purchased a set of twin heifers from us, a few years ago. We sold her the semen to breed the twins for their first calves...and Esme is one of those calves. We 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 keep her bloodlines on our farm. We are grateful and honored to have Esme call White Star Farm, home. :-)


Miss Esme has been confirmed in calf with WSF Deacon or WSF Benji for her first calf. We are hoping for a beautiful and small calf like Deacon's dam, JA Buttercup. :-)

WHITE STAR FARM BLEU WILLOW



photo taken: 06.30.2026



When little Willow's mama left us, we were heartbroken, but she left us with the most beautiful parting gift! Jersey Acres Buttercup will forever be known as my MOST favorite cow, ever to have graced our farm. And we pray that Willow will fill her mama's shoes one day!


Willow will be retained long term for breeding stock on our farm. We believe that she will bring excellence to the farm soon! She is still young, but will be placed with a superb bull pairing like, WSF Benji, for her first calf for 2027.


The very first offspring of our herdsire, WSF Peter Piper with Jersey Acres Buttercup, was WSF Bleu Bonnet. Then we had WSF Deacon, a gorgeous, small, up and coming bull, next was WSF Bleu Willow and now WSF Bleu Bonnet has given us WSF Bleu Moonbeam. :-) Thank you, Bonnet! :-)

WHITE STAR FARM BLEU MOONBEAM



Photo taken: 09 Aug 2026



We went to check on Miss Bonnet because we knew that she was due "any day now" with her second calf arrival. "She" was almost out of the chute! As we got closer, the little heifer made her entry into the world!. How grateful we are for another safe and uneventful calving! THANK YOU, LORD!
I had both a male and female names picked out and it looks like she will be "Moonbeam". I've always loved that name and this tiny girl deserves something special.


UPDATE:
We had confirmed Bonnet pregnant twice, in calf with WSF Cisco. Then we turned Pete, her sire, into that field to clean up others, since she was bred, we never expected an issue. Evidently, she slipped the Cisco calf, and her daddy bred her, which is disappointing to us...the calf is considered inbred and not be allowed to be registered in our registry and receive a Certificate. The heifer will be listed as a "Reference" animal, and her offspring, will be bred to bulls not related to our farm so that they can be registered. Disappointing for sure, but not the end of the world!

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 lost his firslr girlfriend to wildlife, butnow has a new one. Hopefully he'll liks his new "arranged" marriage...lol Big Red patrols his barnyard for us...better than a security dog! lol

UPDATE:
We have a new "blonde" turkey hen for Big Red's mate. Her name is "Blondie".

We did raise out 7 poults to almost 18lbs for Thanksgiving! And they were delish! Will try again next 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 five 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 out of 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.
