About Brown "Buddy" C Hairston
Brown "Buddy" C Hairston is a forestry consultant in Pelahatchie, Mississippi, working through Hairston Forestry Consultants, Inc. The company describes itself as "family owned & operated" and was founded in 1994. Its stated goal is to provide timber management services to private landowners in the central Mississippi area, and Rankin County is among the areas it names. The firm lists six services: timber sales, land sales, replanting, prescribed burning, appraisals, and boundary maintenance. Timber is sold as lump sum sales. Current sales are posted with a location, a bid date, and aerial and topo maps that work offline on a phone. One tract, the Ware Tract, is near Shivers in Simpson County, with bids due Tuesday, November 17th, 2026, at 10:00am. Land listings are shown on Terry Hairston Real Estate's website. This business suits a landowner in central Mississippi who wants one family firm to handle the sale of timber and the work that follows, such as replanting, burning, or marking boundary lines.

Can they handle a timber sale?
Selling standing timber properly takes three things. Here's what the state register credits this firm with.
Timber AppraisalAn estimate of what your standing timber is worth in dollars, based on how much there is, its quality, and current prices. When you are selling, settling an estate, dividing property, or need a value for taxes or insurance.What does this mean? → — not listed
works out what your standing timber is worth
Timber Cruise & Volume EstimateA field measurement of your standing trees — their species, sizes, and quality — that adds up to how much wood you actually have. Before you sell, so you go in knowing roughly what is out there rather than taking a buyer's word for it.What does this mean? → — not listed
measures and grades what's actually out there
Timber Sale & Contract AdministrationRunning the sale for you: advertising the timber, taking bids, writing the contract, and overseeing the logging so the agreed terms are met. When you want someone on your side handling the whole sale rather than dealing with buyers and loggers yourself.What does this mean? → — not listed
runs the sale and handles the contract
This firm isn't credited with all three, which doesn't make it a worse forester — plenty specialise in management planning, wildlife or wetlands. It does mean that if your goal is to sell timber, you'd likely need someone else for the part that's missing.
