Daniel Calderwood

Daniel Calderwood is a breeder of Hereford cattle in Eckley, Colorado, eastern Colorado near Greeley. He has been raising Hereford cattle for more than a decade and holds membership in the American Hereford Association. His approach follows breed association guidelines with regular health testing for bovine respiratory disease and genetic traits linked to fertility.

The herd grazes on native prairie grasses supplemented by seasonal forage to support steady growth and robust immune function. Calves are introduced to daily handling early on, a practice designed to develop calm temperaments and ease of management in varied settings.

He maintains pasture rotations year-round to preserve soil health, reduce soil compaction, and minimize parasite pressure. Calderwood’s farm blends generations of ranching tradition with a focus on structural soundness and maternal lines. Local producers note the uniformity of his calves and reliable performance across pasture and feedlot environments.
