Apple Tree Hill Farm

Apple Tree Hill Farm is a Hereford cattle breeder in Andover, VT, in the Northeast Kingdom near Burlington. They have maintained registration with the American Hereford Association and follow recommended health testing protocols for fertility, eyesight and hoof integrity. The owners conduct regular veterinary checkups and adhere to brucellosis and Johne’s disease screening.

Their cattle graze on open pastures and receive daily handling to support calm temperaments and early socialization. A rotational grazing system supports soil health and provides varied forage through each season. Many of their animals have placed well at state and county fairs, and one recent review highlighted the durability and even temper of their weaned calves.

The farm’s owners carry on livestock traditions handed down through local farming families, combining practical experience with a focus on herd welfare. Genetic selection emphasizes structural soundness and maternal traits, contributing to low-maintenance herds.
