BP Farms

BP Farms is a Milking Devon cattle breeder in Dundee, Michigan, serving Monroe County and southeastern Michigan near Detroit. Led by Bill Picken, the operation has been breeding cattle for over a decade, follows industry-standard herd health protocols, and is registered with national cattle associations to ensure traceable bloodlines.

Calves grow up on rotational grazing pastures with open-sided barns equipped with straw bedding, and each animal benefits from daily handling, structured socialization, and routine veterinary assessments. Organic feed crops and sustainable soil practices enhance pasture quality and contribute to balanced nutrition all year, supporting both animal welfare and environmental health.

Selective breeding focuses on strong milking ability and gentle temperaments, reflecting the farm’s goal of preserving classic Milking Devon traits. The family-run farm maintains transparent record keeping and community support, upholding a philosophy of responsible, small-scale agriculture that prioritizes long-term stewardship over rapid expansion.
