Wendell Behrman

Wendell Behrman is a Hereford cattle breeder in Loma, CO, serving Western Colorado near Grand Junction. Having focused on Hereford cattle for several years, he maintains registration with the American Hereford Association and follows industry-recommended health screenings for respiratory, structural, and genetic soundness.

Animals graze on native grass pastures and receive daily handling from calfhood, which fosters calm temperaments and adapts them to diverse weather in the region. The ranch blends traditional ranching methods with contemporary welfare practices, including rotational grazing and balanced nutrition programs that use locally sourced grains and forages to support digestive health. Herds are organized in small, stable groups to encourage social bonds, making the cattle well-suited for both pasture operations and feedlot transitions.

Consistency in weight gain and a gentle disposition are hallmarks of the breeding program, reflecting a steady dedication to animal wellbeing and sustainable land stewardship. Attention to seasonal herd rotations and precise record keeping helps ensure long-term herd vitality while supporting the broader ecosystem around Loma and Mesa County.
