Claybaugh Cattle Company

Claybaugh Cattle Company breeds Simmental cattle in Gillette, WY, Campbell County and the Powder River Basin near Sheridan. It participates in national breed association programs and follows a comprehensive herd health protocol including genetic evaluation and nutritional management. Animals graze on native prairie grasses during summer and receive high-quality conserved forage through severe winters, while routine handling helps develop calm temperaments.

Founded by fourth-generation ranchers, the operation balances cattle performance goals with sustainable land stewardship. Facilities include covered feeding areas and reinforced working corrals designed for low-stress handling. Customers often laud the steady growth rates, natural muscling and even temperaments of their herds. Private treaty sales are conducted directly from the ranch to align genetics with each buyer’s commercial or seedstock production system needs.
