Ulysses Livestock Conservancy

Ulysses Livestock Conservancy is a breeder of Milking Devon cattle in Ulysses, PA, northcentral Pennsylvania near Erie. Since its founding, it has focused on conserving a robust Milking Devon herd through collaboration with national livestock registries and adherence to recommended health screenings. Operating on a small family-owned farm, the conservancy manages a modest herd size to ensure quality care and thoughtful genetic diversity. Animals graze on rotational pastures across gently rolling fields and have access to barns equipped for seasonal comfort and protection during harsher weather. Owner M.J. Knight brings personal dedication to daily care, ensuring each animal receives individual attention and consistent monitoring.

Regular handling from birth encourages calm temperaments and strong social bonds within the herd. The conservancy’s approach blends traditional husbandry with modern welfare standards while honoring the breed’s heritage. Cattle from this farm have placed at regional agricultural fairs and reflect a commitment to ethical stewardship.
