Ridge View Ranch, LLC

Ridge View Ranch, LLC is a Scottish highland cattle breeder in Agate, CO, on the Eastern Plains near Denver. The ranch has focused on this breed for several years and holds memberships with national cattle associations while conducting regular health screenings. Animals graze on open pastures and are socialized from a young age to develop calm temperaments, with shelter provided throughout colder months. The herd benefits from rotational grazing and locally sourced hay during winter, supporting balanced nutrition year-round.

As a family-run operation overseen by John and Sherry Quade, Ridge View Ranch balances tradition with practical land stewardship practices. The Quades embrace sustainable methods, rotating pasture sections to maintain soil health and using minimal interventions aside from routine vaccinations. Herd sizes are kept modest to ensure personalized care and close monitoring of nutrition and growth. Clients often comment on the gentle nature of the cattle and the consistency of the ranch’s hands-on approach.
