Ryanwood Ranch

Ryanwood Ranch, Wagyu cattle, Canon City, CO, sits in Fremont County and the Arkansas River Valley near Colorado Springs. Pat Ryan has refined fullblood and purebred herds for more than fifteen years, employing American Wagyu Association registration and annual genetic screening. Animals graze on foothill pastures in summer, rest in sheltered barns during winter months, and calves are handled daily to build confidence.

Rotational grazing supports soil health and forage diversity, with supplemental grain blends sourced from nearby mills when nutritional needs rise. Maintaining a moderate herd size allows Pat to monitor each animal’s well-being closely, ensuring smooth transitions through weaning and shipment phases. Select progeny have placed at state livestock shows, noted for consistent marbling scores and gentle temperaments. Early feedback from regional chefs and family farmers highlights the depth of flavor and reliable performance under varied ranch conditions. The ranch’s elevation and moderate climate contribute to gradual weight gain, a hallmark of quality Wagyu beef in this region.
