Charley Whitehead

Charley Whitehead is a Limousin cattle breeder in Elbert, CO, operating in Elbert County and the Front Range near Denver. Long active in the cattle community, it holds membership in regional industry associations and follows established herd health testing protocols. Animals undergo routine screenings for common herd health concerns and the facility follows biosecurity measures year-round.

The herd grazes on open pasture under a rotational plan, and each calf is handled gently from birth to promote calm temperaments. Breeding decisions balance structural soundness and maternal traits, with attention to genetic diversity and low-stress management. Farmers across eastern Colorado often note the calves’ steady weight gain and steady temperament, and many have since expanded their own herds with stock sourced here. Charley Whitehead maintains a small-scale approach that emphasizes animal welfare and a quiet farm setting, aiming for reliable results rather than rapid turnover.
