Gilchrist Farm

Gilchrist Farm is a Scottish highland cattle breeder in Bloomfield, NY, Ontario County and the Finger Lakes near Rochester.

Andrea Scott has more than a decade of experience breeding Scottish highland cattle and maintains membership in regional livestock associations while following recommended genetic health screening protocols. The herd grazes on carefully managed pastures with seasonal rotation and animals have daily handling to foster calm temperaments and thorough socialization from a young age. Pastures are rotated to preserve soil health and cattle have access to sheltered sheds that support their natural resilience during colder months.

The herd includes animals recognized at local fairs for their coat quality and visitors note the gentle disposition and relaxed pace across the farm. Gilchrist Farm also offers educational opportunities that give a hands-on look at sustainable cattle practices favored in this region. Regular veterinary checkups and dental care are part of the herd’s routine health maintenance.
