Vermont Alpine Farm

Vermont Alpine Farm is a breeder of Wagyu cattle in Prospect, KY, Jefferson County and the Louisville area near Louisville.

It follows industry guidance for animal care, including regular veterinary checks and genetic health evaluations common among Wagyu breeders. Herds graze on open pasture with round-the-clock access to shelter and fresh water, and calves interact with visitors for gentle socialization. Kevin Channell raised this farm over the past years on family land, where commitment to steady growth and balanced nutrition shapes daily routines. A small herd size lets attention to individual animals’ well-being, supporting a calm temperament and consistent weight gain. Some steers have earned ribbons at county agricultural fairs, reflecting the farm’s focus on quality genetics.

All animals receive gentle handling to foster trust and reduce stress, with calves acclimated to human presence from an early age. Feed blends feature locally sourced grains to support sustainable practices and reflect a respect for regional agriculture.
