Wagner Charolais is the main enterprise of Wagner Ranch. Wagner Ranch is operated by Bob and Jan Wagner and is located in Northern Colorado, about 20 miles south of Cheyenne, WY, and 45 miles from both Fort Collins and Greeley. We are about 1.5 hrs from Denver and Denver International Airport.
We have both Spring and Fall calving herds and our bulls and replacements are raised almost entirely on pasture and are kept never in a pen. Both groups of calves are provided creep feed prior to weaning.
Spring calves are weaned in early September and fed hay and Accuration until mid-January and hay only thereafter.
Fall calves are generally weaned in March and provided hay and Accuration until grass is available, usually mid-May. The calves are pastured all Summer and Fall and put on hay with the Spring calves in mid-January.
Wagner bulls are well muscled, easy doing bulls that, because of the way they are raised, have no foot or leg problems and will maintain their condition while breeding. Yearlings will even gain weight on good pasture! The bulls are selected for calving ease as well as weaning and yearling weights and have solid EPDs.
We generally sell most of our bulls between March and June, but try to have some available year round.
Visitors to the ranch are always welcome.
