Marcum Farms

Marcum Farms raises Hereford cattle in Jamestown, NY, Chautauqua County and the Southern Tier near Buffalo. The operation has been breeding quality beef cattle for over a decade and maintains membership in the American Hereford Association. Each calf is health tested according to recommended protocols, and adults are screened for genetic conditions common to the breed. Pastures are rotated seasonally to support grass-fed development and to preserve soil health.

The herd lives in spacious paddocks with shelter available year-round. Calves receive early handling for gentle socialization before joining a family environment, and the farm’s commitment to low-stress management is evident in their calm demeanor. Visitors note the clean facilities and the breeder’s approachable nature, reflecting a tradition of care that dates back to the farm’s founding generation. A recent state fair award highlighted their cattle’s consistent weight gain and temperament.
