Welden Ranch
Welden Ranch Tarentaise cattle in Elk Creek, Missouri, in the Ozarks near Springfield, are raised on a family-run operation. Marcie and Brett Welden have built their herd through decades of selective breeding, with registrations kept current and health testing performed to breed standards. Their membership in the American Tarentaise Association reflects a commitment to transparent record-keeping and genetic soundness.
The cattle graze on tallgrass pastures with rotational grazing practices, and calving stalls are cleaned daily to promote low-stress handling and early socialization. Living quarters include both open-range paddocks and sheltered loafing sheds, ensuring comfort through changing seasons. Visitors note the calm temperament of the herd, a testament to hands-on care and consistent routines that define the ranch’s approach.
The ranch balances show potential with functional traits valued for efficient growth, maternal qualities, and adaptability to diverse pastures. Through hands-on management and selective pairing, calves often exhibit uniform markings and robust health into adulthood.
