J Hudson Hines

J Hudson Hines breeds Hereford cattle in Beatrice, AL, in Monroe County and the Gulf Coast near Mobile. With more than 20 years of breeding experience, the operation maintains membership in the American Hereford Association and conducts routine health screenings. Its cattle graze on fescue-dominant pastures under a rotational system and are accustomed to regular handling from birth for a gentle disposition.

The farm maintains a mix of registered bulls and replacement heifers selected for maternal strength and feed efficiency. Calves are raised in family-style groups to encourage early social bonds and robust growth before weaning. A recent community review praised the consistent quality of the livestock and the openness of the operation’s barn tours. Breeding goals focus on structural soundness and balanced growth, supporting beef and show prospects alike. Visitors often comment on the farm’s open layout and the herd’s calm demeanor during spring and fall sales.
