Rocky Flats Ranch

Rocky Flats Ranch is a Scottish Highland cattle breeder in Longmont, CO, in Boulder County near Denver. Jose Rodriguez has been raising Scottish Highland cattle for over a decade and holds membership with the American Highland Cattle Association, accompanied by routine health screenings and genetic evaluations. The herd grazes on rotational pasture, and calves are socialized from birth in a low-stress environment with access to well-sourced hay and clean water.

The family-run ranch traces its roots to traditional hill farming practices, reflecting a commitment to land stewardship and animal well-being. Rocky Flats Ranch maintains a small herd to ensure individual attention to each animal’s health and temperament, with newborn calves spending their first weeks alongside their dams. This approach supports robust genetics and gentle behavior suited to both small farms and educational settings. Raised on a historic property near the foothills, the cattle benefit from seasonal range and thoughtfully managed shelters during colder months.
