Highland Maple Farm

Highland Maple Farm breeds Scottish Highland cattle in Randolph Center, VT, serving Washington County and central Vermont near Montpelier. Farm owner Joshua Butterfield has over a decade of experience raising these cattle, maintaining registrations with major cattle associations and conducting regular health screenings.

The herd grazes pasture year-round, with supplemental feeds in winter, and calves grow up alongside their mothers in open fields with access to a sheltered hay barn. Maple production on the property complements the cattle program, reflecting a holistic approach to land stewardship and animal welfare. Each animal receives personalized care, with routine veterinary visits and early handling to encourage calm temperaments. The farm has been in operation since 2010, evolving from a small homestead herd to its current size through careful breeding selections. Local visitors often note the peaceful setting and gentle nature of the herd.
