The most important thing to consider when looking at and buying a Colorado cattle property is your operational plan for the land. If you plan to run a yearling ranch, you will want to prioritize grazing land to give your herd the space and food resources it needs so the yearlings can gain weight quickly.
A cow-calf operation tends to need more infrastructure and year round facilities to house staff and the long-term portion of cattle. Cow-calf operation ranches need to be larger in order to facilitate a year-round herd, as well as have the resources to basically double the herd size during calf season.
Depending on which type of operation you plan to have on your Colorado cattle property, you will want to consider water resources, carrying capacity, and operational strategy when looking for a ranch to purchase. Harrigan Land has Colorado cattle ranches that fit the needs of both operations and provide the resources needed to run a successful ranch.
Cattle and calves are the top agricultural commodity in the state of Colorado with 2.6 million head of cattle. This makes agribusiness a steady market throughout Colorado, however, it’s not oversaturated, and it’s still small enough to accommodate new comers. You don’t need to have owned a ranch for generations in order to be a successful cattle rancher in Colorado, all you need is the proper resources and a well-kept Colorado cattle property.
The opportunity to make money with a Colorado cattle property is two fold. On one hand, you have the business that is run on the land, and the success of that business depends greatly on the resources available. At Harrigan Land, we have several Colorado cattle ranches for sale that are sure to match your priorities and give you the resources you need to run a profitable cattle business.
On the other hand, owning ranchland is a significant alternative investment opportunity. The cattle business you run on the ranch will make you money in the short-term, while the land you own will appreciate over time. Then, when and if you decide to sell your Colorado cattle ranch, you can sell for higher than your original buying price.
