Huffard
Dairy Farms is located in the mountains of southwest Virginia and has been in the family
for more than 200 years. Our grandfather, James Schultz Huffard, Sr., acquired
Registered Jerseys in 1929. His philosophy of breeding for profitable production
and sound, functional type continues today at Schultz Jerseys. In 2008, James S.
Huffard III was named AJCA Master Breeder.
