Cross Canyon Ranch

Cross Canyon Ranch Wagyu cattle in Dove Creek, CO in southwestern Colorado near Durango are raised on pasture. The ranch follows American Wagyu Association guidelines and keeps detailed records of lineage, ensuring calves are registered and undergo routine health screenings for BVD and brucellosis. Owners Loren Workman and Linda Workman manage a family-run operation focused on low-stress handling and rotational grazing to support natural growth.

Calves are introduced to sheltered feeding areas early and spend seasons on open grassland, encouraging steady weight gain and consistent temperament. The ranch’s location at high elevation lends itself to hardy animals that adapt well to variable weather. Many local buyers note the herd’s gentle disposition and balanced marbling throughout successive breeding seasons.

Finishing phases occur on site with barley and alfalfa supplements to promote uniform marbling. Routine veterinary visits and traceability measures contribute to transparency for buyers.
