Colorado River Ranch

Colorado River Ranch raises Wagyu cattle in Gypsum, Colorado, in Eagle County and the Colorado River Valley near Glenwood Springs. The ranch has nurtured its Wagyu herd for over a decade, adhering to health screening protocols set by regional beef cattle associations. Each animal grazes on pasture along the river and receives daily care, allowing for consistent socialization and calm dispositions.

Owner Jennifer Ellis Jones applies sustainable grazing methods to support soil health and biodiversity across rolling fields. Calving season takes place under covered shelter so that calves can be monitored closely from their first moments. The ranch maintains thorough records of lineage and health results, offering transparency for breeding decisions. Animals have access to shade and shelter year-round, and calves are introduced to feed gradually to encourage healthy growth. Rooted in a long family tradition on the banks of the Colorado River, the ranch balances heritage practices with ongoing pasture improvement.
