Windy Hill Wagyu is a full circle accomplishment for founder, Mike Gentry, DVM. Following his graduation from Auburn School of Veterinary Medicine in 1969, he began his career at the stockyards in Marion, Kentucky. An interest in cattle and beef was born in Purcell, Oklahoma on a cattle ranch. Despite this interest, his career took him in another direction.

Dr. Mike and Carolyn Gentry moved to the beautiful Lexington, Kentucky in 1971, where he began his career as a small animal veterinarian. Dr. Gentry built several practices where he loved surgery and taking care of his patients. The drive to be on the cutting edge of the best medicine available kept him engaged in learning new techniques to provide the best care.

Prior to his retirement in 2007,  he and Carolyn purchased a beautiful, windy farm on a hill in Versailles, Ky. The farm was aptly named Windy Hill, and continues to live up to that name today.

Not one to sit back and relax during retirement, Dr. Gentry purchased his first Wagyu heifers and one Wagyu bull in 2015, and began his post-retirement career in the Wagyu business.

Windy Hill Wagyu's herd has over 30 females with more on the way. We strive to continually improve the quality of beef through superior genetics. These genetics are important in improving the traits that make Wagyu the best beef has to offer. With the help of his son, Mike Gentry, Jr. and grandson, Grady Gentry, Windy Hill Wagyu will continue to be a sustainable program honoring his legacy and their passion for Wagyu. Our farm looks forward to passing down the passion of Wagyu for generations to come.
