Is Direct to Consumer Right for Your Operation’s Future?

By Melissa Hart for the Red Angus Magazine

Selling beef directly to consumers is a wide-open opportunity for those who want to branch out from traditional markets.

Read all about Christensen Ranch’s direct to consumer beef operation in the March 2025 issue of the Red Angus Magazine. Kathy Wood talks about the history of Christensen Ranch, how our program has evolved since its inception in 2017, and insights we’ve gained through the years.

Can you spot the calf in the herd of heifers? While calving out heifers has its highs and lows, it is always interesting to see how they react to new calves hitting the ground. Some heifers take to the new mom life rather quickly, while some take some time to warm up to the new rugrat they have following them around. We were glad this heifer took to her calf from the get go and didn't let the surrounding heifers licking on her calf bother her!

We have some exciting news to share! We would like

We have some exciting news to share! We would like to announce our beef and tallow balms are now available for purchase at Sagebrush Market, LLC in Fort Morgan, CO. Not only can you purchase our individual cuts of beef and our scented tallow balms directly from the store, but they also sell handmade soaps and candles, spices, whole foods, and much more!

While the store was established in 2023, the business has recently undergone a change of ownership, one we are proud to say is very close to the family. Earlier this month Chris & Becky Weimer purchased the business, and they are working hard to bring in new products and are excited to start this new venture!

They are open from 10a.m. to 5p.m. Tuesday through Saturday, so stop in and say hi next time you are in town!

The farm dogs definitely have the best jobs on the ranch. Even though Mesa likes to be in the action most days, she figured she'd keep an eye on Jeff while he was working if she was going to have to stay in the pickup. Her instructions weren't quite clear, so she figured hanging out of the window fell under "stay."

What does Gerald like more than a treat? SCRATCHES! While Gerald is always happy to say hello, some scratches are always tolerated and most days even appreciated. We're sure he'll be plenty happy to see Jeff coming next time he is out checking cows!

This past Saturday we spent the day at Logan Count

This past Saturday we spent the day at Logan County Fairgrounds in support of Sterling Livestock Commission's Meat-In Event! Not only did we have a chance to talk to and meet a wide variety of individuals who are supporters of the beef industry, but we also got to show our support through their live and silent auction. We had a great time with KAT Country 98.3 as we gave away a Premium Steak Beef Box!

We had a few surprises this morning! To kick off our 2025 Spring Calving season, we not only had one, but two calves today. We may be biased, but we think they are pretty cute, and thankfully so do their mothers! 🍼

We got a load of DDG in this afternoon, so we had to take a break from our regularly scheduled plans to get it put away. DDG stands for dried distillers grain, which is the by-product of ethanol production, when the fermentation of starch from grains (usually corn) is turned to ethanol, the reminning residue is used as a feed ingredient for beef cattle. We use this product as it is a good source of protien, energy, and other nutrients in the diet of cattle!

We're kicking off the week with a pretty busy day

We're kicking off the week with a pretty busy day getting the Fall Herd moved to the ranch, sorting calves and cows so we can precondition them, and taking them all back to our east yard. It was all hands on deck first thing this morning, using 3 four-wheelers, 2 horses, and 1 feed truck to keep all heads pointed in the right direction. While this may seem like an unnecessary amount of people, the cows and calves can get a little stressed when moving as they don't always stay together, and there are always a few head who are trying to leave and go back to where we got them, looking for their mother or baby.

We're taking advantage of the beautiful day to mak

We're taking advantage of the beautiful day to make some welding repairs in the feedlot. The near-daily movement of animals in and out of the chute leads to a lot of wear and tear on the welds. Add in the freeze and thaw cycles that we get in our region, and the metal will show fatigue over time. Thankfully, spring is just around the corner, and there is more being added to the to-do list every day! #springontheranch #sunshineontheranch #weldingrepairs #agrepairs #feedlotrepairs #coloradobeefproduction #bigonbeef #coloradobeefmonth
