Dan & Karen Craig

Dan & Karen Craig, Hereford cattle breeders in Phippsburg, Colorado, operate in Routt County and Yampa Valley near Steamboat Springs. They have more than ten years of experience raising Hereford cattle and hold memberships in local ranching associations, with routine health testing for breeding stock.

Their cattle pasture freely on open rangeland with daily handling to promote calm temperaments and sound structure. Selection focuses on structural soundness and gentle disposition, and several of their calves have placed at regional agricultural exhibitions.

The family operation covers rolling pastures with natural water sources and sheltered barns, enabling cattle to adapt smoothly to seasonal conditions. They maintain detailed records on lineage and health, providing reliable information for breeding programs. Regular veterinary checkups and parasite management are part of their routine to support herd health. They participate regularly in local cattlemen’s meetings and youth livestock workshops.
