Charles Chamblee purchased his current farm in Wetumpka, AL in 2015. However, his roots are deep in agriculture. He was raised on a diversified farm in eastern North Carolina. His family raised cattle, hogs, corn, beans, wheat and 6 acres of tobacco. Shiloh Ridge Farm ultimately decided to breed Hereford cattle because Charles could work them by himself.
Shiloh Ridge has developed a nice set of both polled and horned Hereford bulls for the 2025 Fall Ball Sale. They are all gentle and ready to go to work. You will also appreciate their substance of bone and size of foot. Lot 493 is Charles Chamblee's favorite bull of his 2023-24 bulls. He feels he is the real deal and will make an excellent herd bull. Lot 493, who is polled, will produce calves with exceptional growth, daughters that stay in the herd with excellent udder and teat characteristics and carcasses that will excel in both muscle and marbling. In fact, Lot 493's sire was in the top 5 bulls in the 2024 National Hereford Sire Reference Program where 50% of his calves graded upper 2/3rds Choice and Prime. Lot 493 is a true 2 year-old. Lot 493 is a potential carrier (via pedigree) for delayed blindness. Lot 494 is a polled Cuda son, who like his sire is a calving ease bull with growth and great carcass genetics. His daughters will also have excellent udder and teat characteristics. Lot 494 is a potential carrier (via pedigree) for the dilution gene. Lot 495 is a dark red, goggle-eyed horned bull sired by AI sire Whitehawk Natural 290E. Lot 495 brings a tremendous genetic package to the table. He is a high growth bull with exceptional carcass characteristics whose daughters will also excel in the herd. He is in the top 1% of the Hereford breed for dollars generated due to his calves' carcass characteristics. Lot 496 is his paternal half-brother. Lot 496 is also a dark red, horned bull sired by the AI sire Whitehawk Natural 290E. Lot 496 follows directly in his paternal half-brother’s, Lot 495, footsteps. Lot 496 is also a high growth bull with exceptional carcass characteristics whose daughters will also excel in the herd. Lot 496 is a potential carrier (via pedigree) for mandibulofacial dysostosis and delayed blindness. Lot 497 is a polled bull whose paternal grandsire is Whitehawk Natural 290E.
