Charles Eicher

Charles Eicher raises Hereford cattle in Newbern, AL, Lauderdale County and the Shoals region near Florence. He is an American Hereford Association member with many years of breeding experience, and he adheres to robust genetic testing to uphold sound conformation.

His herd rotates across native pastures, with supplemental hay through winter, while calves receive daily handling to promote calm temperaments and early socialization. Simple post-and-beam barns shelter animals during inclement weather, and a veterinary partnership ensures routine health checks and customized nutritional plans. Family roots in north Alabama agriculture foster a low-stress handling philosophy, emphasizing steady growth rates and adaptability in both commercial and small-farm settings.

Buyers often note the consistent frame and even muscle development in Eicher’s cattle, a reflection of his steady herd management and attention to lineage. Operating on family farmland spanning generations, the operation blends traditional grazing methods with record-keeping software to track pedigree and performance.
