Jacob Bauer

Jacob Bauer is a Hereford cattle breeder in Sugar City, CO, Otero County and the Arkansas Valley near Pueblo. Since establishing his herd, he has embraced industry-standard health screenings and maintains registrations with the American Hereford Association to support genetic integrity and transparency. Every calf receives early handling and individual attention to develop calm temperaments and prepare for routine management. Calves remain with their dams for extended nursing periods on open pasture before gradual weaning.

His approach blends traditional grazing with targeted breeding for soundness, fertility and feed efficiency. Cattle rotate through fenced pastures in spring and summer and access sheltered windbreaks in colder months to ensure year-round comfort. He values herd health through rotational grazing and pasture diversity, relying on natural foraging alongside mineral supplementation. Based on careful selection and on-farm record keeping, his cattle are well suited for both commercial operations and smaller farms that value adaptability and consistent performance.
