Lawrence C Murch raises Shorthorn cattle in Raymond, ME, Cumberland County and southern Maine near Portland. With a longstanding commitment to thoughtful breeding, he follows established breed standards and maintains health screening for his herd through recognized cattle associations. The cattle graze on rotational pasture with access to shaded shelters and clean water, and calves are socialized from birth to ensure steady temperaments.
