Windy River Farm

Windy River Farm raises Hereford cattle in Shushan, NY, serving Washington County and the Adirondack region near Albany. The operation has more than ten years of selective breeding, and it holds membership in the American Hereford Association with regular genetic and health screenings. Calves are raised in pasture rotations on fenced fields, socialized with handlers from an early age and sheltered in a well-ventilated barn through winter months.

Several of its cows and bulls have earned regional performance awards in maternal traits and growth efficiency. The farm’s commitment to low-stress handling is reflected in positive feedback from neighboring homesteaders. Visitors often note the serene pasture setting and attentive care that define this family-oriented cattle operation. Established on a former maple grove, the farm blends hardwood timberland with grazing fields to support local biodiversity. Its approach emphasizes transparency, with detailed herd records shared upon request.
