Crazy H Farms

Crazy H Farms, beefalo breeder in Altoona, AL, in northeast Alabama near Gadsden. Founded by Rita Harris in 2011, the family-run operation has focused on combining the hardiness of bison with the docility of cattle, following industry-recommended health protocols for beef breeds. Membership in regional livestock groups keeps the farm up to date on breeding standards and pasture management practices.

Animals graze rotationally on mixed grass paddocks, with shelter and fresh water accessible at all times to support growth year-round. From the first week, calves are gently introduced to daily handling routines to build calm temperaments and ease transitions to new environments. Rita tracks lineage, weights, and health milestones for each animal, creating detailed records that inform selective breeding and herd improvement over time. By blending traditional ranch practices with thoughtful animal welfare principles, the farm raises beefalo known for steady growth, gentle manner, and adaptability to varied climates. Visitors note the serene pasture views and attentive care evident in the herd’s healthy appearance.
