Running Wild Ranch

Running Wild Ranch Scottish highland cattle in Rye, CO, Pueblo County and the Colorado high country near Colorado Springs benefit from personalized care on a family-run property. Rick Roberson has raised Scottish highland cattle for several years, holds membership with the American Highland Cattle Association and follows recommended health testing protocols.

The herd enjoys rotational grazing across open pastures, with low-stress handling practices and regular social interaction to promote calm, well-adjusted animals. Calves are socialized from an early age to adapt easily to both show circuits and small-farm life.

Pastures overlook rocky foothills, offering natural shelter and fresh water sources year-round. The ranch emphasizes balanced nutrition and humane husbandry, blending sustainable grazing with traditions passed down through generations. This approach supports strong, hardy cattle suited for both conservation grazing and hobby farming. These cattle are selected for gentle disposition and resilience in varied climate conditions.
