Colorado Rocky Ranch

Colorado Rocky Ranch breeds Scottish Highland cattle in Kiowa, CO, serving Elbert County and the Denver metro area near Denver. Amanda Jensen has raised heritage cattle for more than a decade and works with breed associations to maintain herd health through regular veterinary screenings. Herds graze on open pasture with rotational grazing practices and are introduced early to livestock guardian dogs to support natural herd dynamics. All animals undergo hoof trimming schedules and parasite monitoring to uphold welfare standards.

The ranch’s focus on low-stress handling and pasture-based management supports strong temperaments and resilient growth. Bloodlines trace back to herds in the British Highlands, known for hardiness and traditional horns. Visitors often note the peaceful rolling prairie and the ranch’s sustainable land stewardship. Registered with the American Highland Cattle Association, Colorado Rocky Ranch contributes to breed preservation and shares knowledge at regional agricultural gatherings.
