Platt Farms

Platt Farms raises Simmental cattle in Fruitdale, AL, in Washington County and the Gulf Coast near Mobile. The family-run operation has welcomed healthy calves for over twenty years, maintains membership in the American Simmental Association, and follows a strict health-testing protocol for routine screening of genetic conditions. Herds graze on rotational pastures managed for soil health, and each animal receives daily hands-on attention to encourage calm behavior and early socialization. Nutrition plans are tailored by season to support growth and reproductive wellness, with annual veterinary audits guiding adjustments in feed and herd management.

Steeped in generational farming experience, Platt Farms blends traditional stewardship with a focus on sustainable practices that protect the land. Visitors often remark on the open pastures, the herd’s gentle temperament, and the consistent care that underpins the farm’s work. Calves remain with their dams in family-style groups until weaning, ensuring social bonds and smoother transitions as they join the main herd.
