Stony Kill Foundation, Inc

Stony Kill Foundation, Inc, Milking Devon cattle, Wappingers Falls, NY, is based in the Hudson Valley near Poughkeepsie. The operation has experience raising Milking Devon cattle and aligns with registry standards, routinely completing genetic and disease testing.

Adhering to recommended hoof trimming and vaccination schedules helps maintain herd health and longevity. Cattle graze on rotationally managed pastures and have access to shelter, fresh water and mineral supplements throughout the year. Calves are handled daily to support easy integration and to foster calm responses around farm visitors and handling equipment.

Animals raised here exhibit the breed’s signature foraging vigor, gentle disposition and suitability for small-scale dairy and beef projects. The foundation combines cattle care with conservation education on a historic farmstead, reflecting its commitment to sustainable agriculture and land stewardship. Local workshops and school group visits illustrate day-to-day practices in regenerative grazing and heritage breed preservation.
