About Little Creek Farm
Little Creek Farm began with a dream of Patty and Harold Talbot retiring to a cattle farm. Patty was especially keen on cattle as she had grown up on a ranch. Tragically, just as the farm in Tennessee was ready and being stocked, Patty became ill and then passed on. Harold and son Jeff decided to carry on Patty's vision but to move their operation to Florence Alabama so Jeff could be more involved in day to day operations. One day, while riding around to different farms with cattle for sale, the two came across a beautiful set of red cattle near Lawrenceberg Tennessee. They were so taken with the cows, they ended up purchasing the entire Mitchell Daniel herd and moving them to Florence. Choosing Red Poll cattle has been a tremendous advantage in beginning a new farm. The cattle are extremely easy to handle and the beef is so tender and good it really just sells itself. Another advantage to Red Poll is that they are very efficient and produce at a high stocking rate. Fortunately, Red Poll cattle do well in managed grazing type operations. With 51 acres and 40 cows, pasture management is crucial to success on our farm. The farm is divided into eight paddocks which can further be subdivided temporarily. Fenceline tanks provide water to each paddock. Such an arrangeemnt allows pastures to regrow while cattle are consuming grass in other cells. In addition to pasture grasses, cattle receive about 5 pounds of natural feed every three days. Beeves being fattened for processing receive about 10 pounds each of natural feed daily, in addition to pasture grasses, during the finishing phase. Such an intensive style of management has caught the attention of many because it has been a unique way to get the most out of the farm's resouces and keep pastures thick and healthy. Our cattle is sold in several different ways. With options of whole cow, half cow, or portions to your needs. Red Poll cattle is known for its delicate meat and excellent flavor. If you are interested in coming to look at our farm, we would love to have you. Give us a call!!
