Rocky Hillside Farms

Rocky Hillside Farms is a Milking Devon breeder in Norwich, CT, New London County near New London. For more than a decade the operation has maintained active membership in breed associations and adheres to recommended health screenings and individual record keeping for each animal. Cattle graze rotational pastures across woodland-fringed hillsides and receive supplemental forage and mineral rations during winter months. Nathaniel Raymond raises stock within a family-run system that emphasizes sustainable practices, soil health and low-stress handling routines.

Calves stay in a nearby nursery barn connected to the main herd for round-the-clock socialization and are weaned at natural growth milestones. Consistent milking schedules and veterinary hoof trimming support uniform fat content in the herd’s milk, suitable for cultured dairy and artisan cheese. Visitors note the farm’s tranquil setting and transparent husbandry routines, reflecting a straightforward approach to cattle stewardship.
