Bruce Or Joan Gamble

Bruce Or Joan Gamble raise Hereford cattle in Headland, AL, Henry County and the Wiregrass region near Dothan. They have been breeding Hereford cattle for over twenty years, are members of the American Hereford Association and routinely screen for common genetic conditions, including eye pigment, calving ease and structure soundness. Their breeding program emphasizes moderate frames, maternal qualities and consistent birth weights, with ultrasound scanning to monitor fetal development.

Their cattle graze on rotational Bermuda grass pastures, have access to a well-ventilated barn and are introduced to handlers early for calm dispositions. Several of their steers have earned ribbons at regional fairs for sound structure and gentle nature under show conditions. As a multigenerational farmstead, they focus on sustainable practices that improve soil health, protect waterways and support lifelong animal welfare. The herd benefits from a balanced diet of homegrown hay and supplemental minerals, with newborn calves receiving thorough health checks and colostrum management to build strong immunity.
