Ox Kill Farm *

Ox Kill Farm specializes in Shire horses in Munnsville, NY, in Madison County and the Central New York region near Syracuse. The farm is led by Erin Mccaffrey, who has more than a decade of experience in preserving this gentle draft breed through careful selection and participation in recognized equine associations.

Every foal is raised in a pasture-based environment alongside adult mentors, with daily handling that builds trust and prepares them for a variety of roles. Routine health screenings, annual farrier visits and a balanced diet of local hay and grains support steady growth and sound hooves.

A focus on calm temperament and steady gaits has helped some of their horses earn ribbons at regional fairs and lend quiet strength in therapeutic riding programs. Visitors often remark on the farm’s relaxed pace and the horses’ friendly curiosity. Breeding stock undergoes regular veterinary checks to maintain health records and traceable lineage.
