Dtr Horse Operation, LLC is a Wagyu cattle breeder in Tabernash, Colorado, in the Fraser Valley near Winter Park. Its herd is registered with the American Wagyu Association and undergoes routine health screenings under guidelines set by national livestock organizations. Cattle graze on open mountain pastures and receive regular handling from birth to foster calm temperaments and even weight gain. Drawing on family farming roots in the area, the ranch emphasizes careful selection for herd longevity.

Founded by Robert Fanch, the operation combines mountain pasture traditions with selective genetic practices to support consistent marbling. Livestock are raised without routine antibiotics or added hormones to encourage natural growth patterns. Annual herd evaluations and soil-friendly grazing methods reflect a commitment to both animal well-being and sustainable land use. Prospective breeders and ranchers often note the clear communication and transparency throughout A4 and higher grading evaluations.
