Maple Brae Farm

Maple Brae Farm is a breeder of Scottish Highland cattle in Worcester, NY, in Central New York near Syracuse. Edward and Mary have raised Scottish Highland cattle for over twenty years and hold active membership in the American Highland Cattle Association.

Their herd follows a pasture-based approach with seasonal rotations and regular veterinary screenings for genetic health markers. Calves are gently acquainted with visitors from their first weeks alongside careful socialization with other farm animals. The farm’s hilltop setting provides sheltering woodlands and a barn that dates back to the 1930s, reflecting its roots in family agriculture.

Reviewers often note the calm temperament of the cattle and the farm’s openness during scheduled visits. Edward and Mary maintain linked vaccination records and lineage certificates, ensuring transparency in each animal’s background. Their commitment to gentle handling and lifelong care supports consistent social herd dynamics.
