Blaine Porter Franklin

Blaine Porter Franklin is a Hereford cattle breeder in Meeker, Colorado, serving Rio Blanco County and the Rocky Mountains near Grand Junction. Franklin has maintained careful herd records for more than a decade and works with the American Hereford Association to ensure health testing and genetic diversity.

The cattle range freely across open pastures with rotational grazing systems, and calves are gently handled from birth to support steady growth and social confidence. Daily wellness checks are complemented by mineral supplementation and shelter in well-ventilated barns during harsh weather.

The farm’s balanced breeding program prioritizes maternal traits and feed efficiency, making many young cattle suitable for both family farms and junior livestock projects. Community feedback often highlights consistent care and the approachable temperament of the calves. As a family-run operation, the farm values transparent communication and maintains open dialogue about herd health and practices. Manure from the cattle helps nourish pastures, supporting soil health and local ecosystems.
