Ernst Herefords

Ernst Herefords, Hereford cattle breeders in Winsor, CO, raise stock in northeastern Colorado near Greeley. Having bred cattle for over two decades, Ernst Herefords holds American Hereford Association membership and follows recommended health testing.

Daily herd checks and rotational grazing on native grasslands support balanced nutrition and strong hoof health. Calves are handled gently from birth to foster calm temperaments and are raised alongside their mothers on open pastures.

Several of their bulls have placed in state fair classes, and their stock often appears in local junior livestock programs. The ranch sits on gently rolling hills that offer shelter from seasonal winds, and winter feeding takes place in covered loafing areas. They offer occasional workshops to share beef cattle husbandry insights with new enthusiasts. The family homestead dates to the early 1990s, with sustainable grazing practices evolving over three generations.
