M B Harbison

M B Harbison is a Shorthorn cattle breeder in Birmingham, AL, Jefferson County and the central Alabama region near Tuscaloosa. With more than a decade of experience, it maintains membership in the American Shorthorn Association and follows recommended health testing protocols.

The cattle herd is raised on open pastures where calves learn early socialization and grass nutrition is prioritized throughout the seasons. Routine veterinary checks and reflective breeding records help support strong maternal traits and consistent growth rates across the herd. A recent review noted its calves’ gentle temperament and adaptability, reflecting a long family tradition of attentive farm management.

Calves are introduced to handling routines from birth, which aims to build confidence before they enter any show or sale environment. Rotational grazing practices on well-managed acreage encourage soil health and help maintain the herd’s overall vitality during weather shifts.
