Fuchs Ranch Herefords

Fuchs Ranch Herefords is a Hereford cattle breeder in Del Norte, CO, in the San Luis Valley near Alamosa. The ranch participates in national breed association programs and performs regular health screenings, including annual herd fertility evaluations. Calves are raised alongside adult cattle on open pasture with emphasis on quiet handling and routine wellness checks.

Biosecurity measures include controlled herd introductions and regular testing for respiratory and digestive health markers. Located at 8,000 feet elevation, the cattle benefit from cool summers and clear mountain air that supports resilient growth.

With a focus on balanced genetics and calm temperament, the herd has demonstrated reliable growth and adaptability across high-altitude conditions. The operation also offers farm visits by appointment so visitors can observe daily care and handling in a natural setting. Nutritional management relies on grass-based grazing supplemented with mineral mixes that are tested annually for quality and safety.
