Petsch Ranches

Petsch Ranches, a family-run operation, raises Simmental cattle in Meriden, Wyoming, on the rolling plains of Laramie County near Cheyenne. Drawing on a long tradition of ranching, the operation follows health-screening protocols for genetic traits and common diseases as recommended by regional cattle associations. Calves are born and raised in open pasture, allowing natural foraging behavior, and receive daily handling to ensure calm temperaments and ease of management. Breeding decisions focus on balanced growth, structural soundness and adaptability to varied grazing conditions.

Regular hoof care and nutritional monitoring help optimize herd wellness throughout seasonal weather changes. Visitors often remark on the ranch’s quiet setting and the team’s willingness to share insights into daily husbandry routines. Detailed records of lineage and performance metrics support informed breeding choices over generations. Calves are socialized alongside family dogs and older cattle to encourage steady herd dynamics.
