David Smith

David Smith, Chianinas, Boulder, CO, is a breeder serving Boulder County and the Front Range near Denver. He maintains all cattle under American Chianina Association guidelines, performing regular health screenings and documenting clear lineage for every calf.

Animals graze on rotational pasture that encourages biodiversity and soil health, and they receive daily low-stress handling to build trust. Barns open onto covered loafing areas and are fitted with maternity pens in spring, while shade trees reduce heat stress in summer. A background in regenerative agriculture guides the farm’s minimal-input approach, with composted manure returning nutrients and supporting pasture vitality.

Several animals have placed in regional fairs, earning recognition for conformation and size, and neighbors often note the herd’s calm behavior. The farm follows a seasonal calving cycle, keeping detailed records on breeding dates, weights and growth milestones for transparency. Clients appreciate David’s clear communication on each animal’s history and his consistent demonstration of respectful, attentive cattle husbandry.
