Running Creek Ranch

Running Creek Ranch is a Limousin cattle breeder in Elizabeth, CO, Elbert County and the Front Range near Denver. Owned by Joseph D Freund, it participates in industry-standard registry programs and follows recommended health testing protocols to safeguard herd health and genetic consistency.

Herds graze on native grassland pasture with seasonal supplemental forage blends designed for optimal growth and reproductive health. Regular handling from birth supports calm dispositions and ease of management at weaning and beyond. Facilities include clean calving pens and shaded loafing areas that help minimize stress during critical stages.

Breeders and small-scale ranchers often note the consistent temperament and structural soundness of the cattle. Steady focus on balanced breeding practices underpins the ranch’s reputation among regional Limousin enthusiasts. Calving seasons are scheduled to align with natural forage availability, promoting gentle milking transitions for both cow and calf.
