Stephanie Huss

Stephanie Huss, Shorthorn cattle, Platteville, CO, runs a family-owned farm based in Weld County and the Front Range near Denver. She has been raising Shorthorn cattle for more than a decade, following breed association guidelines and maintaining regular health evaluations on each animal.

Calves benefit from routine handling and rotational grazing on irrigated pastures, with access to barn shelters during extreme weather. Her focus on temperament and conformation has earned ribbons at state and county fairs and local livestock shows. Breeding decisions prioritize genetic health and maternal traits, ensuring calves thrive from birth.

The ranch’s prime location near the South Platte River supports lush forage and fosters a low-stress environment for the herd year-round. Health records accompany each calf, which arrive weaned and ready for integration into herds. Her emphasis on pasture-based feeding and attentive care reflects a simple, sustainable approach.
