Raising Elite Angus Cattle With Care and Clarity

Behind a modest herd in the quiet hills of Fauquier County lies one of the most remarkable success stories in modern Angus breeding. Monomoy Farm Services, Inc. is a small but powerful operation rooted in education, ethics, and genetic excellence.

As a registered breeder with the American Angus Association, John Pennington uses advanced DNA technology and pedigree analysis to improve each generation of cattle. The result? Animals with exceptional maternal traits, structural soundness, and pasture performance
