Livestock

Livestock production in Northern New York covers all manner of production animals: beef, chickens, sheep, goats, horses and ponies, hogs and pigs. A category of  “other” livestock includes more than 8,000 animals, including turkeys, pheasants, deer, llamas, and alpacas.

The Northern New York Agricultural Development Program (NNYADP) has focused largely on the larger livestock with such projects as an evaluation of grass-fed Holstein beef production and the development of a livestock marketing toolkit for beef, pork and poultry producers.
