Kenny Rogers of Wagon Wheel Ranch

Hale Broadcasting conducted an interview with Kenny Rogers from Wagon Wheel Ranch in Yuma, Colorado, discussing the operations and historical background of the ranch. Kenny detailed how the ranch, originally started by his grandparents with commercial cattle, transitioned to raising registered Angus in 1950.

Over the years, the ranch has adapted to changing marketing trends, moving away from traditional stock shows to online platforms for their sales, such as DV Auctions and their website. This shift to more efficient and less time-consuming sales methods was influenced by technological advancements and changes in industry practices.

Kenny also highlighted the current weather conditions affecting agriculture in the region. While the weather is favorable for calving, he mentioned the critical need for moisture for pastures and crops due to increasingly dry conditions and high winds in northeastern Colorado.
