Blind Badger Ranch

Blind Badger Ranch is a Chianina cattle breeder in Fort Morgan, Colorado, on the Eastern Plains near Denver. The ranch has followed national breed association guidelines for over a decade and carries out routine health evaluations, including testing for bovine viral diarrhea and Johne’s disease. Calves grow up on open pastures with shelter options, daily handling and early social conditioning to support ease of management. Owner Jim Hett draws on decades of family ranching experience to emphasize docility, maternal strength and consistent growth rates.

Their cattle have been recognized at regional livestock shows for balanced frame, muscle development and sound feet and legs. Winter feeding includes locally harvested hay and mineral supplements to ensure steady gains during colder months. Blind Badger Ranch balances rotational grazing with sustainable soil practices to maintain pasture health and herd welfare. The ranch is a member of the American Chianina Association and submits performance records to support breed advancement.
