Bugle Point Elk Ranch

Bugle Point Elk Ranch breeds elk in Stoneboro, PA, Mercer County and the Lake Erie region near Erie. James and Cynthia Brown have managed the operation for several years, maintaining herd health through routine veterinary screenings and registered status with the Pennsylvania Elk Breeders Association. Their elk are raised on rotating pasture supplemented by mineral blocks, and they undergo regular handling sessions from a young age to support calm temperaments.

The ranch is noted for careful antler development and hosts occasional educational tours for local schools. Visitors often remark on the ranch’s welcoming atmosphere and the Browns’ openness about elk husbandry. All calves are born on site each spring and receive individual attention during weaning season to ensure steady growth. The Browns focus on careful herd genetics to support robust antler and body structure across their breeding stock. Sustainable land stewardship, including rotational grazing and native plant reseeding, underscores their approach to conservation.
