Clover Hill Farm

Clover Hill Farm raises Shorthorn cattle in Gorham, ME, in Cumberland County near Portland. With more than a decade of experience, Ken Hoyt Jr maintains all breeding cattle registered with the American Shorthorn Association, ensures routine veterinary health testing, and upholds strict biosecurity measures. Its barns are equipped with straw bedding, well-ventilated stalls, and modern handling facilities designed to reduce stress during routine checks.

Animals graze on rotational pastures with access to weatherproof shelters year-round, and calves are introduced to gentle handling early to support social development. Emphasis on selecting for temperament and structural soundness reflects a commitment to traits valued by local ranchers and small-scale homesteaders. Ken’s background in sustainable farming informs low-input practices that focus on soil health, forage diversity, and resource conservation. Clients frequently note the calm disposition of their cattle and appreciate clear communication throughout the breeding process.
