Full Moon Wagyu, LLC.

Full Moon Wagyu LLC raises Wagyu cattle in Vergennes, VT, Addison County and the Champlain Valley near Burlington. Owner Nancy Zylstra brings years of expertise in sustainable grazing and breed selection to the operation. It adheres to national breed association guidelines and follows recommended genetic testing protocols to support herd health.

Calves are raised in pasture-based settings with daily turnout and regular hands-on socialization to encourage calm temperaments. Animals graze on a mix of native grasses and clover through the growing season to promote nutrient diversity and healthy weight gain. Winter months see the herd moved into spacious barns with deep-straw bedding to ensure comfort and reduce stress.

The farm’s emphasis on low-stress handling and grass-finished diets contributes to consistent marbling and tenderness. Set on rolling hills overlooking Lake Champlain, the operation combines traditional ranching with modern stewardship to maintain soil health.
