Teddy Gentry isn’t just the bassist for Alabama - the best selling country music band of all time - he’s an innovator in the cattle industry too! He’s been working on the genetics for a new breed of cattle capable of thriving on forage alone all across the Southeast United States!
After hearing about intensive grazing systems in New Zealand back in the 80’s Teddy was inspired. There was just one problem - the climate of Alabama needed a new kind of cow for a new kind of grazing.
South Poll cattle are light colored to beat the heat, low to the ground to thrive on grass, and docile to allow for easier handling.
Now, farmers and customers all across the Southeast and beyond seek out the nutrient dense, profitable beef Teddy’s hard work has created - giving small farm families new reason to hope for the future.
