Colorado - 4 Members, 19 free listings
4 members in Colorado. Every link on this page goes to the ranch's own store, never to a checkout of ours.
Select a marker to read the ranch, then follow the link to its own store. Neighboring states are on the map too.
Drag to pan, scroll or pinch to zoom, or select a state. With the map focused, the arrow keys pan and the plus and minus keys zoom. Every state outline and every ranch marker is reachable by keyboard, and every ranch on the map is also in the list below, so no producer is reachable only through the map. A member's marker is that ranch's membership badge, drawn larger at the higher levels. A free Registered Producer is a black dot on its own state, and an unclaimed Unregistered Producer record is a gray dot, which opens an invitation to the owner to claim the profile rather than a page.
Every Colorado producer on the map. A member and a Registered Producer each have a page of their own; an unclaimed record is a gray dot waiting to be claimed.
Registered as an American family operation before it was listed. The link goes to the ranch's own store.
Wiley, Colorado · Registered American Beef Producer
Four generations and about 120 years on the same southeast Colorado range. Cattle are grass fed on open range and finished on grain, alfalfa and corn the family grows itself, then dry aged, hand packed and shipped nationwide.
Ships to all of the lower 48, usually arriving within 72 hours. Boxes are prepared the week they are ordered. Alaska and Hawaii are not included.
Listed with their own published details. A profile page is written from the ranch's own material, so these carry a listing until that material arrives.
These listings came from American Beef Direct's own producer research. Each ranch's name, town, website and phone number are its own published details, checked against its own site. A ranch with a listing has not yet supplied its story or its photography, so it has no profile page here yet. If this is your ranch, tell us and we will build the profile from your own material, or take the listing down.
19 more Colorado operations are in the system at the free level. An Unregistered Producer record is a name, a town and a state, and nobody at the ranch has claimed it yet. It carries a gray marker on the map, but no badge, no contact details and no page, and it is not a verification of the operation. If one of these is your ranch, claim it and it becomes a free Registered Producer.
Unregistered Producer records were compiled from public producer directories: the ranch name, its town and its state, and nothing else. No contact details are published, and a record that nobody has claimed has no page of its own. It is a record that the operation exists and sells beef, not a verification of it, and it carries no badge: on the map it is a gray dot. If this is your ranch, you can claim it free and become a Registered Producer, take a membership, or ask us to remove it.
Colorado's registered producer sits in the southeast corner of the state, on the shortgrass country out past the mountains where the map stops looking like a postcard and starts looking like ranch country. Wiley Ranch Beef has worked the same land there for four generations, about 120 years, which is most of the time there has been a Colorado.
What that longevity buys a buyer is control over the whole life of the animal. The cattle are grass fed on open range, then finished on a blend of grain, alfalfa and corn the family grows on its own ground, so the ranch decides what the herd eats from the first day to the last rather than selling calves into somebody else's feedlot. Nothing in the herd has had a growth hormone.
The finishing matters for what ends up on the plate. Grain finished beef carries more fat cover than grass finished, which is why the ranch's steak boxes read the way they do: ribeye, T-bone, New York strip, sirloin. The beef is dry aged two to three weeks, trimmed or ground, packed by hand and quick frozen.
For a Colorado buyer the practical detail is that this is a shipping operation, not a farm store. Every box is prepared the week it is ordered and goes out vacuum sealed in an insulated box, usually arriving within 72 hours, and it can be a one time purchase or a standing subscription.
Written from what the listed ranches publish about their own operations. Availability, pricing and shipping are theirs and change without notice.
4 producers are listed in Colorado, and the registry is open to every other. Registering is free, we build your profile from your own material, and every link on it points at your own store.
