Wild Geese Farm

Wild Geese Farm is a Hereford cattle breeder in Franklinville, NY, in Cattaraugus County and the Southern Tier near Buffalo. The family-run farm follows American Hereford Association guidelines, maintains routine health screening and works with a local veterinarian on herd wellness. Its herd has built consistency through careful record keeping and balanced breeding practices over several seasons.

Cattle graze in rotating paddocks on mixed grasses and shelter in well-ventilated barns during calving, with daily handling to promote calm temperament. Emphasis on maternal traits, structural soundness and moderate frame results in calves that grow steadily on pasture-based diets. Visitors often comment on the farm’s peaceful landscape and the owners’ clear breeding records, reflecting a focus on transparency and animal well-being. Routine hoof trimming and parasite control are scheduled throughout the year to support herd longevity and performance. Owners also take part in regional pasture walks through the extension office to share insights on low-stress cattle handling.
