Bowman Farms

Bowman Farms specializes in breeding Shorthorn cattle in Opelika, AL in Lee County and the Montgomery area. Garth Bowman has been raising Shorthorn cattle for more than a decade and follows breed association guidelines for health testing and record keeping. The cattle graze on well-managed pastures and receive daily socialization to ensure calm temperaments.

Calves are raised within a family setting and gain early exposure to handling and basic training. They benefit from a clean, sheltered barn area during winter months and regular veterinary checkups year-round. Bowman Farms focuses on long-term herd health and ongoing sustainable pasture practices. As a family-run operation, they maintain modest herd sizes for personalized care, and breeding, nutrition, and health records are kept meticulously to support traceability and consistent quality. They employ rotational grazing and pasture improvement plans to promote soil health and ecological biodiversity.
