Brad Burke—Full Circle Farm 989 Metcalf Mill Rd Ewing, KY 41039 (606)267-5609, (606)759-5930 Fax: (606)759-5934 Email: gbb789@windstream.net Full Circle Gelbvieh is a small purebred operation in Northeastern Kentucky (Ewing). Our first Gelbvieh females were purchased in 1999. We practice a ―quality over quantity‖ approach. Currently we maintain 25 fall calving cows. All cows are synchronized and AI’ed to homozygous black Gelbvieh bulls to constantly infuse new genetics into our herd.

Our cow herd is culled each year with longevity being a key selection trait. If a cow has poor disposition, unsound feet, legs, or udder, or doesn’t wean an acceptable calf every 12 months, her longevity at Full Circle is very short!

We invite your phone call or visit any time.

Consignors Bio’s continued: Chad (Richard) Dunnavant—Dunnavant Farms 31306 Gowan Rd. Ardmore, TN 38449 (931)427-3722 Email: codunnavant@ardmore.net I started with Gelbvieh about 8 yrs ago using bulls on my commercial cows. The off-spring impressed me so much I decided to raise purebred Gelbvieh and I’ve never looked back I’ve raised beef cattle my entire life on family farms. We now have 60 registered cows and 100 commercial cows. I believe a cow should earn her keep, and work as hard for me as I do for her. Gelbvieh can do just that.

Don Estes—Bar None Ranch (Fredonia, KY) Retirement from a corporate life and the desire to get back to my roots I purchased a farm near Marion NC in fall of 1991. Commercial cattle were purchased while considering some breed of registered cattle. We purchased a registered Gelbvieh bull and saw a great improvement in the calves from these common cows.

We liked the growth, muscle, milk, and docile nature of the cattle. David Slaughter currently manages a portion of our herd in KY. Our goal is to provide breeders with cattle that will produce profitable results. The heifers we have brought to Cross Plains would be a good starting place for new herds.

Over the years our farm has been mainly Angus cattle. However after purchasing some Gelbvieh cows, I feel that Balancers are what producers should be focusing on to increase weaning weights and yearling weights. We have bulls and heifers for sale throughout the year right off the farm.

Bull consigners continued: Seedstock Plus is a group of likeminded cattle producers that want to be able to provide more to their customers than just live animals on one day a year. Breeder/Members agree to rules and pay a fee to belong and they also agree to market all of their bulls through the program minus the culls. This gives the members the advantage of being able to compare their genetics to other producers in an unbiased environment. The group feels it is very important to provide the customer with the highest level of information possible and this includes genetic defect tests when necessary, DNA tests by Igenity, BVD PI testing, ultrasound measuring and complete breeding soundness evaluation.

We can help you figure out how to best utilize all the data and where to place the most importance for your program.
