In 2011 The Leroux Ranch was awarded Colorado's Centennial Ranch Status for being owned by the same family for over 100 years... The economics of raising cattle vary due to climate, elevation and available feed. Wintering cattle in the Colorado Mountains requires efficient use of harvested forage, usually hay, to winter the cattle as long as 6 months while the ground is covered by snow. The Main cow herd lives year around at elevations from 7,250 feet to over 9,000 feet. A cow in this environment needs to be able to maintain her body heat, grow a baby calf inside her and maintain a reasonable body condition to preform optimally once the calf is born. Once the grass starts growing she has quality feed in the form of grass until the calf is weaned that fall. A larger cow generally needs more feed to maintain..
