Willow Creek Farm

Willow Creek Farm Murray grey cattle, Guilford, New York, raises every calf on pasture. Located in Chenango County and the Southern Tier near Binghamton, the farm has been run by James and Crist Troyer for over a decade with comprehensive herd health testing and membership in regional cattle associations.

The cattle graze rotationally on diverse grass pastures and are handled daily to foster gentle temperaments and confidence around new surroundings. Willow Creek Farm also incorporates low-stress weaning and natural calving shelters to support both animal health and breeder peace of mind. Many local homesteaders appreciate the even build and quiet nature of these cattle, noting consistent growth rates and adaptability during seasonal changes. Crist Troyer draws on her background in agricultural education to share sustainable grazing techniques with visitors during seasonal farm showcases. Testing for common cattle diseases and a balanced hay-based winter ration have helped maintain strong resilience and consistent herd performance year after year.
