Heritage Branch Farm

Heritage Branch Farm raises milking Devon cattle in Greenville, Georgia, serving Meriwether County and the West Georgia region near Atlanta. Michelle Pape maintains modest herd sizes to prioritize individual care and pasture rotation, guided by standards of national livestock associations, including quarterly veterinary evaluations. The farm is registered with state livestock boards and takes part in regional agricultural events to stay informed on breed developments, and follows biosecurity routines to support pasture health.

Those cattle have year-round access to rotational grazing pastures with shelter in timbered backdrops, ensuring natural foraging and shade. Each calf and cow receives hands-on socialization from birth, fostering a calm temperament suited to small-scale dairy operations. Heritage Branch Farm applies traditional grass-based methods to preserve the breed’s historic traits, with selection for strong udders and natural disease resistance. Milk testing tracks protein and butterfat levels valued by local cheese makers. Community vets praise the herd’s overall health record and the farm’s transparent care practices.
