About Us

Baskin Livestock is a family owned enterprise that has been in business since 1980, originally located in Franklin, Massachusetts and Cumberland, Rhode Island. The company is owned by Bill Baskin and his wife Susan Blackburn and moved to Batavia, New York in 1991. We have been at our present site since 1993, raising Dairy Replacement Heifers, prime and choice beef steers and registered American Quarterhorses. In addition to raising livestock, we operate two feed mills. One facility recycles items from the human food production stream (‘pre-consumer’) diverting it from its previous fate of entering a landfill, and processing the mix into either a high quality bakery meal or a sugar product.
