Peavey Farms

Peavey Farms raises Scottish Highland cattle in Madison, NY, Madison County in the Central New York region near Syracuse. The operation participates in recommended genetic and health screening protocols through the American Highland Cattle Association and follows guidelines for responsible lineage record keeping.

Many animals have been featured at regional agricultural fairs, earning positive remarks for consistency of type and soundness. Animals have year-round access to shelter, clean water and mineral supplements to support their welfare through all seasons. Owner Keith Peavey, who began with a single cow over twenty years ago, oversees daily care, pasture rotation and grassland restoration to maintain long-term soil health and biodiversity.
