King Mountain Cattle LLC

King Mountain Cattle LLC is a Wagyu cattle breeder in Mc Coy, CO, in northwest Colorado near Steamboat Springs, on a family-run ranch at the foot of King Mountain. The ranch follows recommended health testing guidelines through annual screenings and maintains registration with national Wagyu associations. Records are kept for each animal’s lineage and performance metrics to ensure predictable traits across generations. Animals graze on open pasture at the base of King Mountain, with shelter and clean water available year-round.

Calves are gently handled from birth to encourage calm temperaments, and pastures are rotated to support soil health. Owner Rick Kirby oversees daily care and tailors feeding programs to each animal’s needs. Regular participation in regional livestock shows helps the ranch stay connected with best practices. Community members often praise the clear handling facilities and the ranch’s open-door approach during farm visits.
