William Gay

William Gay raises shorthorn cattle in Steamboat Springs, CO, in Routt County and the Yampa Valley near Denver. He participates in regional livestock events and follows recommended health screening from recognized farm associations. His herd grazes on open pasture year-round with barn shelter available, and calves are raised alongside their mothers to encourage natural social behavior. The farm’s high-altitude location contributes to cattle with strong mountain adaptations and a calm temperament noted by local ranchers.

Several of his steers have earned ribbons at county fairs for balanced conformation and steady disposition. Visitors remark on a friendly, hands-on atmosphere during farm tours, and records of past calf weights and health checks are available for interested families. Detailed pedigrees are maintained for each animal to support transparent breeding decisions and long-term herd improvement. With a focus on steady growth and gentle handling, this operation offers shorthorn cattle suited for both breeding and small-scale beef production.
