Culstigh Creek Farms

Culstigh Creek Farms is a beefalo breeder in Gaylesville, AL, serving Cherokee County and the Appalachian foothills near Chattanooga. With a focus on responsible genetics and regular veterinary screenings, the farm follows recognized cattle breeding guidelines.

Animals are raised on open pasture with access to shade and clean water, and each calf receives early handling to foster calm temperaments. The gradual integration of beefalo genetics aims to balance the hardiness of bison with the docility of cattle. Stanley Koonce oversees all operations, drawing on practical experience to maintain sustainable grazing and humane weaning practices. Regular soil testing and rotational grazing help preserve forage quality and reduce parasite loads. Animals are grouped by age and temperament to ensure cohesive herds and minimize stress during grazing. The farm’s quiet setting and careful stock rotation support animal welfare and pasture health throughout the seasons.
