Glenn & Alice Gilbert

Glenn & Alice Gilbert raise Shorthorns in Vanceburg, KY, Lewis County and the Appalachian region near Cincinnati. They have built a reputation through consistent participation in regional association meetings and adhere to industry-recommended health protocols, including regular veterinary exams and genetic evaluations.

Calves are raised in open pastures with shelter barns on their family farm, where daily handling and gradual socialization support calm temperaments. Many of their cattle have earned ribbons at state fairs and regional livestock shows, reflecting attention to balanced conformation and steady growth rates.

Their approach emphasizes sustainable practices such as rotational grazing and integrated forage management to maintain pasture health. This hands-on philosophy and care routine aim to provide Shorthorns that are well-adapted for both small-scale herds and larger commercial operations. The Gilbert family has operated their cattle farm for several generations, nurturing community connections and preserving heritage traits in their herd.
