McPhail Angus Farm, Historic cattle farm in Oconee County, South Carolina.
McPhail Angus Farm is a historic cattle breeding operation in Oconee County with eight buildings from different periods, including barns and worker houses spread across roughly 100 acres. The property continues to operate as a working farm while maintaining its original structures.
The property was founded in 1902 as a cotton plantation before being converted to cattle breeding in 1936. This shift made it one of South Carolina's earliest black Angus operations.
The farm reflects how Southern agriculture changed over time, visible in its buildings and the shift from cotton to cattle and grass production. Visitors can see how rural communities adapted their work and land use to new economic opportunities.
The farm remains a working operation near Seneca, so visits are limited to private arrangements and require permission in advance. Contacting the owners beforehand is the best way to learn about possible tours or viewing options.
The Angus herd holds the designation of Historic Herd from the American Angus Association and also produces certified seeds for major agricultural companies. This specialized work connects the farm to modern farming practices across the country.
