Foothill Farm

Foothill Farm is a breeder of Wagyu cattle in Berry, KY, in the Appalachian region near Knoxville. The operation has maintained breeding records for several years and follows health-testing protocols recommended for Wagyu cattle, with livestock enrolled in established registry programs.

Each herd is raised on rotational pasture to support natural foraging and frequent interactions with people from a young age. The farm’s approach reflects a commitment to sustainable practices and attentive husbandry on open fields. Visitors note the calm demeanor of the cattle and the thoughtfully planned environment that supports animal well-being year-round.

Founder Jeffrey Vinson relies on pasture rotation and careful record-keeping to ensure genetic health and temperament stability. The farm participates in local agricultural events, where their cattle have been recognized for consistent marbling and balanced dispositions. Whether breeding stock or feeder calves, each animal benefits from the farm’s emphasis on traceability and gentle handling.
