Bar Seven Shorthorns

Bar Seven Shorthorns Shorthorn cattle operation is based in Rocky Ford, CO, Southeastern Colorado near Pueblo, blending regional ranching tradition with careful genetic selection. Owned by Cameron Frantz, the herd has been refined for more than a decade through participation in the American Shorthorn Association and consistent herd health protocols. All breeding stock undergoes regular evaluations for fertility, structural soundness and calving ease, and vaccination schedules follow veterinarian guidelines to ensure resilience and early growth.

Animals graze irrigated pastures in a rotational system, and calves experience group weaning and gentle handling from birth to foster confidence and adaptability. Centered on a century-old farmstead framed by rocky mesas, the ranch emphasizes maternal traits, docility and consistent temperament across Colorado’s changeable climate. Owners value sustainable grazing practices and local partnerships, and many customers observe that Bar Seven Shorthorns calves thrive whether on irrigated flatlands or hill pastures.
