Hidden Hills Farm

Hidden Hills Farm is a Murray grey cattle breeder in Norwich, New York, Chenango County and the Syracuse area.

Hidden Hills Farm participates in national breed registry programs and follows recommended health screening protocols for murray grey cattle. Its herd grazes on rotational paddocks supplemented by hay from neighboring fields, and calves are introduced to routine handling early for steady growth and gentle disposition.

Owner Mike Hoffelder brings multi-generational farming experience to breeding decisions, selecting stock with balanced conformation and strong maternal instincts. Regular herd evaluations help refine selection criteria, ensuring cattle suited to both show circuits and small-scale commercial herds. The farm’s well-maintained barns and handling facilities meet current welfare guidelines, and calving areas include heat lamps for cold-weather comfort. Visitors to the farm often note calm temperaments and consistent growth rates, reflecting a husbandry approach centered on animal welfare. Feed and water stations are arranged to encourage social feeding behavior and reduce competition among animals.
