Dahl's Herefords

Dahl’s Herefords, Hereford breeder in Montrose, CO, operates in Montrose County and the Uncompahgre Valley near Grand Junction. It has more than two decades of experience guiding bloodlines toward consistently even temperaments and sound conformation.

As an active member of the Colorado Cattlemen’s Association and the American Hereford Association, it maintains detailed performance records and follows standardized breeding protocols. All registered cattle undergo regular health screenings, including vision checks, parasite monitoring, and reproductive assessments through the American Hereford Association’s recommended protocols. On the family-run ranch, cattle graze on irrigated grass pastures by day and rest in open-air loafing sheds by evening, a rhythm designed to promote natural social behaviors and reduce stress. It also prioritizes early calf exposure to gentle human handling, helping young animals settle more smoothly into new herds or feeding programs.

The farm traces its roots through three generations of ranchers, blending traditional livestock stewardship with modern data-driven selection and record-keeping methods. Over the years, Dahl’s bulls have earned a solid regional reputation among commercial cattle producers for reliable growth rates and calm, even dispositions at weaning.
