Lamb Tree Hill

Lamb Tree Hill Milking Devon cattle in Oriskany, NY, Oneida County and the Mohawk Valley near Utica. Michael Gurecki has focused on raising Milking Devon cattle for more than a decade while maintaining membership in national dairy breed associations and participating in regional judging events. All breeding stock undergoes routine veterinary evaluations, genetic health screenings for common dairy traits and hoof care assessments to support long-term soundness.

The herd thrives on rotational grazing across lush pastures, with individual calves receiving daily handling that helps foster steady temperaments and early socialization. The farmstead sits on land that once supported small-scale family dairies, and the current operation emphasizes heritage breed sustainability along with soil health through natural pasture management. Feedback from neighboring farmers often highlights the cattle’s balanced milk production and easygoing nature, qualities that align with sustainable dairy goals and small farm lifestyles.
