Butterkup Farms

Butterkup Farms raises midsize and miniature Jersey cattle and lowline crosses in British Columbia, Canada, near Vancouver. The operation is dedicated to responsible breeding practices, participating in registry programs and conducting veterinary-guided health clearances for every animal. Herd members graze on rotational pasture through the seasons and receive daily handling to encourage calm temperaments and well-socialized behaviors.

Owner Melanie Brumley-Guttner oversees pasture management and a hands-on care routine that spans from birth through maturity. Balanced nutrition plans, tailored to each herd and pasture cycle, and low-stress handling support steady growth, solid milk yields and overall herd well-being. Standard screenings for common cattle health concerns help maintain vitality across different climate conditions. Many owners note the gentle dispositions of Jersey cattle and the sturdy frames of lowline crosses. The farm’s combination of traditional husbandry methods and modern welfare standards creates a consistent, low-stress environment for both animals and caretakers.
