David Gittleson

David Gittleson raises Tarentaise cattle in Milner, Colorado, in Eagle County and the Rocky Mountains near Denver. He began breeding in 2012 and is an active member of the Colorado Cattlemen’s Association, supporting national Tarentaise discussions and sharing breeding insights at regional workshops. All his cattle undergo routine fertility and genetic screenings, timely vaccinations to maintain herd health and promote longevity.

His cattle graze on open pasture by day and return to sheltered barns by night, with daily handling that gently builds calm temperaments. Several of his animals have placed at nearby county fairs, reflecting their strong build and patient disposition. He draws on his background in sustainable ranching to balance production and animal welfare.

His commitment to transparent pedigrees and open records helps buyers understand lineage and invest with confidence. Seasonal rotations with diverse forage blends support nutrient-rich diets year-round.
