Sumbucktu Farm

Sumbucktu Farm, Chianina cattle, Buckfield, ME, in Oxford County and Western Maine near Portland. Norman Jack has been raising Chianina cattle for over fifteen years with guidance from recognized breed associations and follows a strict regimen of fertility and hoof health checks. Cattle rotate through managed pastures on rolling hillsides and are handled gently each day to develop a calm temperament and sound structure.

Open-air shelters, secure fencing, and seasonal shade provide a comfortable environment throughout the year. The herd’s balanced genetics support both beef performance and longevity in local conditions.

Monthly veterinary visits and DNA-based genetic evaluations are part of the farm’s commitment to herd health and traceability. Sumbucktu Farm’s cattle are raised alongside other livestock in a mixed-farm setting that promotes biodiversity and soil health. Careful record-keeping and a network of area cattle producers help ensure that each animal is ready for a range of farming operations.
