Rope Horse Ranch

Rope Horse Ranch is a Wagyu cattle breeder in Colorado Springs, CO, in El Paso County near Denver. Robin Crandall has raised Wagyu cattle for more than a decade, following breed association guidelines and conducting routine health screening to support herd wellbeing. Their cattle graze on open pasture and native grasses supplemented with hay and essential minerals, while calves benefit from early daily handling and time in the family homestead for socialization. A small herd size allows personalized care, with individual records tracking weight gains and health milestones.

Extended bonding with dams supports natural growth and consistent marbling prized in quality beef. The ranch’s grass-forward approach and careful record keeping maintain sound reproductive performance and a stable foundation for long-term sustainable operation. Visitors appreciate the quiet farm setting and the team’s willingness to discuss breeding goals and farm heritage. Calm handling and a pasture-based life shape well adjusted livestock across seasons.
