Evan Wells & Livestock Inc

Evan Wells & Livestock Inc is a Simmental cattle breeder in Baggs, WY, Carbon County and the Upper Green River Valley near Rawlins. Established over 20 years ago, the farm participates in registry programs and conducts routine health testing for genetic conditions such as bovine leukocyte adhesion deficiency and polysaccharide storage myopathy.

Herds graze on native prairie grasses and spend winters in sheltered barns where calves receive early socialization and gentle handling. The operation emphasizes low-stress stockmanship and pasture rotation to support animal welfare. Several cows and bulls have earned district show titles, reflecting selective breeding for structural soundness and temperament. The ranch consults with local extension services to refine grazing strategies and maintain healthy pastures year-round. Owners share breeding records and insights with nearby ranchers to foster community knowledge. Facilities include covered loafing areas and mineral feeders designed for herd comfort.
