Richmond Park Farm

Richmond Park Farm is a heritage Shorthorn cattle breeder in Saint Maries, ID, in the Idaho Panhandle near Coeur d’Alene. Under John Phillis’s guidance, the herd is registered with national cattle associations and benefits from routine health screening. Calves are raised on pasture with daily social interaction and gentle handling to promote calm temperaments.

As stewards of a historic breed, they follow rotational grazing and prioritize soil health in their century-old pasturelands. John places an emphasis on transparency, encouraging visits so potential buyers can observe herd behavior and infrastructure up close. Their Shorthorns are known for solid muscle tone and docile natures, well suited for both small-scale homesteads and local agricultural shows.

During winter months, cattle have access to heated barns and carefully balanced forage rations to maintain condition. The farm participates in regional fairs and supports educational programs for youth agricultural groups.
