Charley Whitehead

Charley Whitehead breeds Limousin cattle in Elbert, CO, on a ranch in Elbert County and the Front Range near Denver. With over twenty years of experience, Charley Whitehead holds membership in the American Limousin Association and oversees regular veterinary screenings, EPD evaluations and genetic testing on every calf. Herds graze on rotational pastures through spring and fall, with access to sheltered loafing areas and heated water stations in winter to maintain herd well-being. Each calf is socialized from birth and accustomed to routine handling, fostering calm temperaments that translate to ease in pasture and pen.

Limousin cattle here develop lean muscle and fine marbling while adapting well to Colorado’s high-altitude climate. The ranch began as a small family operation nearly fifty years ago and now focuses on maintaining foundation bloodlines prized for structural soundness and feed efficiency. Calves are weaned in group pastures to encourage social behavior and monitored for growth milestones from birth through sale readiness. Many buyers note consistent disposition, robust conformation and dependable progeny performance across successive herds.
