Ask for name and ranch
300,000 acres of northeast NM. The ranch is divided into 2 divisions, the commercial cow-calf/stocker and the seedstock division. My husband manages the seedstock

Commercial cow calf herds
A grassfed beef partnership in upstate New York
And while not comparable to Kenya have ran cattle in Wyoming, Missouri and Iowa.
Raised in Westcliffe, Keith raised in Kansas, we meet at CSU
