Carpenter-Farms

Carpenter-Farms raises Simmental cattle in Slocomb, AL, serving Geneva County and the Dothan area. Carpenter-Farms participates in national herdbook registrations and emphasizes regular health screenings for genetic soundness.

The herd grazes on open pastures with access to clean shelter year-round, and calves receive early handling to promote a calm disposition. They follow sustainable pasture management practices to maintain soil health and support livestock well-being. Each animal is fed a balanced ration of timothy hay and grain blends tailored to its growth stage, and breeding selections prioritize temperament and structural soundness. The herd’s performance records are tracked to inform future breeding decisions and ensure consistent quality across generations.

As a family-run operation, Carpenter-Farms combines hands-on care with a commitment to local agricultural traditions. The farm regularly hosts local farmers and students for guided visits, sharing practical insights into responsible cattle stewardship.
