James Henry Buzzell

James Henry Buzzell raises Limousin cattle in Brandon, VT, in Addison County and the Champlain Valley near Burlington. With over fifteen years of experience, he is a longstanding member of the American Limousin Association and follows breed-specific health testing protocols. His cattle graze on rotational pastures and spend evenings in a well-ventilated barn that he designed to reduce stress and support natural behaviors.

Socialization begins from birth, and calves are handled daily to encourage calm temperaments before they join local breeding programs. The farm’s history goes back two generations, and this continuity informs his focus on strong maternal lines and balanced growth rates. Many local farmers note the consistent stature and gentle disposition of his stock during community fairs. Calving rates remain steady above national averages, reflecting his careful selection and low-stress handling methods. Grains are sourced locally to complement forage-based diets, ensuring a balanced nutritional program year-round.
