Valley Brook Farm

Valley Brook Farm raises Lowline, mini Belties, Zebu and yak cattle in Cooperstown, NY, Central New York near Syracuse.

The herd grazes on rotating pastures at the farm’s rolling fields and the animals receive regular handling from a young age to build calm temperaments.

The farm began as a modest family operation, and those roots guide a focus on balanced nutrition and practical traits.

Each animal also receives routine hoof trimming and vaccinations overseen by licensed veterinarians. The herd includes several bloodlines valued for ease of calving and feed efficiency.
