Canaan West Ranch

Canaan West Ranch raises yaks on rolling grasslands in Westcliffe, CO in Custer County and the Wet Mountain Valley near Pueblo. John leads a small operation with transparent health records, annual veterinary screenings and a tailored nutrition plan for herd well-being.

Animals live in rotational pasture paddocks and share a sturdy barn with natural light, promoting gentle social behavior and resilience through colder seasons. They receive enrichment through seasonal trail walks, brush grooming and routine handling to strengthen their bond with caretakers. Fiber from this herd is processed on-site using traditional spinning methods and several animals have earned recognition at local agricultural fairs for fleece quality.

John also prioritizes genetic diversity and natural foraging habits to maintain a hardy, adaptable herd. The ranch maintains open communication with neighboring farms to exchange breeding insights and husbandry tips. Animal welfare remains central to these practices.
