Wolf River Farm

Wolf River Farm is a breeder of Chianina cattle in Buckfield, ME, located in Oxford County and the western Maine region near Portland.

Focus is placed on functional conformation and steady growth rates, resulting in cattle known for calm temperaments and strong maternal instincts. Owner Norman F Jack Jr shares insights through involvement with local cattle associations to remain up to date on best care practices for the herd. Visitors note the welcoming farm atmosphere and attentive stewardship that underpins each stage of development, from barn calving stalls to open pasture grazing.
