Circle F Farms is owned and operated by Woody Folsom and his wife Tamela with their children Tanner and Anna Kate. Originally established to serve as tribute to his late father, Woody went in search for some of the best Brahman genetics in the Country. 13 years later and Circle F is one of the largest Brahman herds in the Southeast part of the Country.
Located in Baxley, Georgia, Circle F consists of roughly 3,000 acres, 700 head of Registered Brahmans, 300 head of F1 cattle, 300 head of Registered Angus, 150 head of Registered Brangus, an elite group of quarter horses, draft mules, and much more.
Circle F has been Woody’s dream since he was a child and he helped his family on their small farm. While agriculture is his passion, Woody’s start began and continues in the car industry. He currently owns 8 car dealerships where he and his son Tanner work side by side to grow their brand within the industry, and it doesn’t stop there!
Circle F’s brand has grown to incorporate a Meat store, which Tamela runs, an abattoir and their newly established Outfitter store. All of which proudly carry the Circle F name.
As you can see, diversity is Woody’s middle name.
We invite you to join us in Baxley and come enjoy it all with us! We hope you enjoy it all as much as we do!
The Brangus breed was developed to utilize the superior traits of Angus & Brahman cattle. Their genetics are stabilized at 3/8 Brahman and 5/8 Angus. The combination results in a breed which unites the traits of two highly successful parent breeds. The Brahman, through rigorous natural selection, developed disease resistance, overall hardiness and outstanding maternal instincts while the Angus are known for their superior carcass qualities.
Circle F Farms was involved in the Brangus breed in the early 2000’s before dispersing the herd and then ultimately purchasing many of our original genetics in 2023 when we re-entered the breed. Brangus & Ultrablack cattle are extremely popular in the Southern United States and provide an expanded market depending on the amount of Brahman-influence desired. It is only natural to have the Brangus & Ultrablack cattle at Circle F Farms to fill the “Brahman-influence gap” between the F-1 and 1/8 bloods. Circle F Farms has purchased many of the top genetics in the Brangus breed with an emphasis on performance-oriented cattle with eye appeal. A segment of the Circle F Farms Registered Angus Cows are mated to Registered Brangus Bulls to produce Ultrablack progeny. Circle F Farms collects Birth Weights, Weaning Weights, Yearling Weights, carcass ultrasound measurements, & DNA on each animal. This information is for internal use, provided in the sale catalog, and submitted to the International Brangus Breeders Association. Currently all Brangus & Ultrablack Bulls are marketed though the Circle F Farms Annual Production Sale with the heifers being retained to grow the herd.
The Brahman breed was created in the early 1900’s out of necessity along the Gulf Coast Region due to its environmental adaptability, insect resistance, longevity, heartiness, and mothering ability. It is calculated that close to 80% of the cattle in the world are Brahman or Brahman-influenced validating their significant contribution to the beef industry.
Circle F Farms currently runs over 700 head of Registered Brahman cows. The foundation of the herd was purchased from J.D. Hudgins, Inc. and V8 Ranch. Today most of the Brahman cows that roam Circle F Farms wear a V8, half circle L, or circle F brand. The top 150 of these cows based on phenotype, pedigree, performance, and production have been selected and bred to Registered Brahman bulls to create offspring that are retained as replacements, sold in the Annual Production Sale, or consigned to other premier auctions. In 2022 Circle F Farms began an invitro-fertilization program where top donors were utilized to multiply superior progeny by some of the most proven & popular sires in the breed. Circle F Farms collects Birth Weights, Weaning Weights, Yearling Weights, and carcass ultrasounds on each animal. This information is utilized internally to make selection decisions, provided in our sale catalog, and reported to the American Brahman Breeders Association to be used in their genetic evaluation.
The F-1 cross has been established by academia and cattlemen alike as the premier commercial animal for the Southern US Region. The F-1 offspring is the most adapted, fastest growing, longest lasting, combines the best traits of both parents, and requires less inputs all equating to more profitability.
Circle F Farms breeds approximately 550 Registered Brahman cows to Hereford, Angus, Red Angus, & Charolais bulls to produce F-1 Bulls & Females. The resulting offspring is marketed through the Circle F Farms Annual Production Sale and other special marketing opportunities. The sires to the F-1 progeny are selected from some of the most progressive operations in the United States with an emphasis placed on structural correctness, ruggedness, moderate frame size, depth of rib, muscle, scrotal circumference, and carcass quality. Circle F Farms collects Birth Weights, Weaning Weights, Yearling Weights, and carcass ultrasounds on each F-1 animal. The collected information is utilized internally to make mating decisions as well as provided in our sale catalog for the bulls.
Located in Baxley, Georgia, our Black Angus Donor Cow Program is built on the backs of the Burgess Cow Family. They are all moderate framed, deep bodied, phenotypically excellent maternal cows that raise big calves that are good on their feet and add superior genetics to our herd.
