In 1979, Drummond Coal Company bought out their farm, and the family moved to White City, just north of Hanceville and the farm grew to 150 acres. In 1981, Kenneth’s drive and determination resulted in the acquisition of the farm’s namesake property. 260 acres nestled along the meandering bank of the Mulberry Fork of the Black Warrior River gave the farm it’s name.
In the late 1990’s, Beverly and her husband, Brian Waldrep, assumed part of the farm, running a mixture of Black Angus and Charolais cattle. Kenneth, Barbara, Beverly, and Brian raised Kyle Morris, Beverly’s son, on this farm and helped him learn the practices of ethical cattle management.
Although Kyle had always had cattle in some form or another, it was in 2016 that Kyle assumed control of the farm with the help and guidance from his family. He moved it into a new direction, raising Santa Gertrudis Influenced cattle for replacement heifers and natural, ethically sourced beef.
