British White Bull Calf
Dave manages the herd of cattle at Double V. We raise beef cattle using a rotational grazing system similar to what we do with our sheep. The cows are run on 3 different locations, which are rotated to optimize pasture growth. We have mixed herd, but primarily use primarily British White Cattle influence. Our beef herd consists of the British White, Hereford, Angus and Limosin. We also occasionally bottle raise some Holstein calves.
Our British Whites are unregistered stock with cross breeding behind them. We really like the body type and temperments of these cows. The calves are hardy and the contrasting black point against the white body is very striking.

Our livestock are raised on the lush pastures of the pacific Northwest. We have a rotational grazing system to promote maximum pasture growth and minimize parasite problems. Our ewes lamb out in the pasture and are protected by guardian llamas. We raise Katahdins sheep and Clun Forest ewes. Katahdins are hair sheep that do not require shearing. Their hair coat sheds out every spring. They are exceptional mothers, and frequent twinners. They are healthy sheep who are parasite resistant and do well on browsing pastures.
Clun Forest sheep have wonderful docile temperments. They are good mothers and raise nice lambs. They are a beautiful liver colored sheep with small upright ears. Their unique look and gentle temperments make them a nice addition to any flock.

We have rams, ewes and lambs available at different times of the year.
