232 Skitchewaug Trail is a small breeder of Scottish highland cattle near Burlington, Vermont, in the Green Mountains. With more than ten years of experience, it follows standards set by national cattle organizations and keeps meticulous health records for each animal.

All breeding stock undergoes annual veterinary checks that include parasite monitoring and hoof inspections to support long-term herd vitality.

Cattle are introduced to family routines from a young age and regularly accustomed to farm machinery sounds, supporting smooth integration into new settings. Lineage documentation and management guidance accompany each animal at transfer. Bishop Farm, Inc. has upheld sustainable stewardship on this historic farmstead for generations, blending time-honored practices with ongoing improvements.
