A Natural Focus

The progressive evolution of the Christensen Bros. ranch has been the driver behind the success of this cow/calf, feeder and farming operation on the Front Range of Colorado. Resourceful administration of the feeds and forages grown on the ranch, intensive pasture management and meticulous selection of Red Angus genetics has provided Christensen Bros. the avenue to produce cattle that excel on premium markets. Branded Natural programs are now the primary focal point of this profit driven cow/calf and feeding operation.

We are out in the field dodging rain showers and trying to get the Triticale cut, chopped, and covered as soon as possible, 300 acres in total! Triticale is a hybrid of Wheat and Rye. When harvested for cow feed, we make sure to get in the field just before the head of the plant starts to fully mature. Once we finish with the Triticale, we'll follow with a round of tillage and the corn planter for short-season corn! 🚜🌾 #harvestontheranch #springontheranch #grassfedcornfinished #coloradoranchers #ranchraisedbeef #farmingseason #humanelyraised #beefyoucantrust #knowyourrancher #coloradobeef

Eric put Allie to work this afternoon, digging out

Eric put Allie to work this afternoon, digging out a few buried culverts at the end of the field where our pivot crosses the Weldon ditch. It would be one thing if it were dry, but as heavy and deep as this mud was, Allie said something along the lines of, "This is a backhoe job, and I am not a backhoe" 😂 Unfortunately, to her dismay; the backhoe is currently out of commission so the Allie Elbow Grease will have to do for today! 💪🏼 #ontheranch

We're wishing this guy a very Happy Birthday 🥳🎉 23 looks good on you, Tyler. HBD - we hope you have a great day and a fantastic year! Enjoy your day! #happybirthday #birthday #nextgeneration #ranchfamily #family #celebrate #hbd

Congratulations are in store for Kirsten! This pas

Congratulations are in store for Kirsten! This past Saturday, she graduated from West Texas A&M in Canyon, Texas, with a Bachelor of Science in Agribusiness. Kirsten is considering returning in the fall for a Master's program in Ag Media and Communications. In the meantime, she is looking forward to being home on the ranch for the summer! #CongratsKirsten #Classof2023 🎓🎉

Another vivid rainbow greeted us as we arrived at

Another vivid rainbow greeted us as we arrived at the ranch last week! But instead of a pot of gold at the end, we're looking at some liquid gold coming down the river! The extensive system of moisture that has been with us for the better part of a week is finally moving out. Here on the ranch, we received just shy of four inches in a 72-hour window! The entire South Platte River basin got a nice bump in their stream flows because of it. This surge in the river could not have come at a better time, as we are still seeing about 91% of the median in this year's snowpack waiting to melt. We love to see renewed optimism regarding water and drought in our area! ☔️ 🌊 #ontheranch #springweather

#DuckandCover We missed last night's round of severe weather by the skin of our teeth. This season's corn planting has been touch-and-go because of the moisture. Right now, we have the planter in the shop until tomorrow! If the seed in the box gets wet, it can gum up the small parts, causing delays and inadequate spacing. Worst case, the seed could sprout, rendering it useless before it's even in the ground! 🌽🚜 #cornplant2023 #severeweatherontheranch #johndeere #coloradoranchers #ranchraisedbeef #grassfedcornfinished #buybeefonline #beefyoucantrust #knowyourrancher

Irrigation season is underway! We've been irrigating the triticale as the weather heats up; it seems to grow an inch overnight once May rolls around! But before we get too busy changing water and playing "keep the sprinklers going" all summer, Eric thought it was the perfect opportunity to reroute a ditch before they send water down for the first time this season. This entailed installing a new culvert under the road that leads to the ranch, creating a new speed bump until it smooths out over time. 🌾💦 #ontheranch #ranchraisedbeef #irrigationseason #coloradoranchers #beefyoucantrust #frompasturetoplate #grassfedcornfinished #

Today was another first for the season. We turned out the horses onto their summer pasture! We introduced you to Mini 'Em a year ago when she was born. Fast forward to today, and it's time to graduate to the big pasture. Here she will learn herd dynamics and how to run with the big kids. Everyone looks over the moon to be horsin' around on green grass again! 🐎💨 #springfever #ontheranch #horsinaround #summergrazing #coloradoranch #ranchraisedbeef #coloradobeef #knowyourrancher #naturalbeef #buybeefonline

Irrigation season is right around the corner! Yest

Irrigation season is right around the corner! Yesterday, we received water down one of the canals that flow through the ranch. This allowed us to burn off the excess vegetation and chase the fire with a small flow to keep it under control. 🔥🌾 #springontheranch #burnbabyburn #springcleaning #ranchmaitence #irrigationseason #fieldprep #knowyourracnher #coloradoranchers #coloradobeef #beefyoucantrust

The guys were hard at work labeling over 240 packages of our smoked Beef Sticks for the 25th Annual Take a Kid Fishing Days this weekend hosted by Tomky Fish Farms.

Our own kids participated in the Take a Kid Fishing Days derby when they were younger (swipe left to see Tyler & Allie with their catch at the 2012 derby🎣) and we appreciate this event's focus on spending quality family time while enjoying the great outdoors.

This event is nationally recognized as the number one children's fishing derby in the United States! And, it's hosted by our good friends, Tracy and Sabrina Tomky. We love giving back to our community and are proud to be one of the many local sponsors this great event.

Each lucky participant in this weekend's event will enjoy our Beef Sticks along with other goodies and a small fishing-related prize for attending. Plus, there are prizes awarded for the top three weigh-ins.

We wish all the 2023 participants the best of luck!

Many people know ranch life is not always "Sunshine and Rainbows." However, this morning that was exactly the case! We had quite the Colorado combo for starting the day earlier than normal. We've been busy in the fields trying to get ahead before the soggy weather moved in. At this point, Bailee is the only one ready for rain! ☀️🌈 #springontheranch #coloradosunrise #ranchdog #busyseason #aprilshowers #coloradobeef #coloradoranchers #humenalyraised #ranchraisedbeef #knowyourrancher #buybeefonline

Our fall herd preg check is underway! As the spring herd is busy calving, the cattle from the fall herd are making their way through the squeeze chute to check to make sure they are bred. If they aren't, we need to decide if the animal should be given another chance to have a calf in the alternate herd or sold. Splitting our cow herd into two different calving seasons allows us to better manage our processing calendar and the availability of our beef! 🧬🐂 #ontheranch #redanguscattle #pregcheck #coloradoranch #coloradobeef #knowyourrancher #beefyoucantrust #frompasturetoplate #humanelyraised #cattlesteward
