Pitcher Mountain Farm

Pitcher Mountain Farm raises Scottish highland cattle in Hanover, NH, in the Upper Valley region near Burlington. Charles Faulkner II has worked with native breeds for over a decade and holds memberships in regional and national livestock associations. Their cattle graze on rotational pastures and undergo regular veterinary screenings to maintain herd health and resilience.

Calves are socialized in small daily peer groups to promote easy handling and early bonding with caregivers. Many herd members trace to foundation stock imported from Scotland, reflecting the farm’s commitment to breed heritage. Pitcher Mountain Farm follows sustainable practices, including pasture-driven feeding and composting, to support both animal welfare and soil vitality. Hillside pastures include natural shelters and clean water sources year-round to keep cattle comfortable through every season. Animal comfort is supported by low-stress handling techniques and a focus on quiet, consistent routines.
