High Wire Ranch
High Wire Ranch, elk, Hotchkiss, CO in Delta County near Grand Junction, has over ten years of breeding experience. It follows strict herd health protocols, including routine veterinary screenings and proactive disease prevention measures recommended by regional agricultural authorities. The herd grazes across diverse grasslands at varying elevations, and daily handling ensures elk develop a calm, approachable temperament.
Owners Dave and Sue Whittlesey maintain hands-on involvement, drawing on multigenerational ranching roots in Colorado. Animal welfare guides every aspect of ranch life, from early socialization of calves to winter feeding with locally sourced hay. Calves are introduced to pasture life under experienced supervision, and group pen arrangements support natural social bonding. The ranch operates with a focus on environmental balance, rotating grazing areas to prevent overbrowsing and preserve native vegetation. Heated shelters with deep straw bedding are used during colder months to ensure herd comfort.
