The 3R Ranch in Beulah, Colorado, sits in the foothills of the Wet Mountains. The ranch was originally part of a land grant from the King of Spain to Gervacio Nolan. The ranch is rich in Native American history especially the Ute Indians. There are tepee rings, Indian rock art and artifacts.
Through the years the 3R Ranch land holdings grew to its current 11,000 deeded acres. Owners have worked hard to improve the irrigation, use the best known conservation methods, and improve the grasses. For over 40 years, Reeves and Betsy Brown have practiced Holistic Resource Management to improve quantity, variety and quality of the grasses through high intensity/low frequency grazing. This grazing method creates more vegetation on the ground which in turn prevents excessive runoff of rain or snow. This allows the water in creeks to be clear. Their cattle herd has been upgraded to Black Angus X Balancer to produce fine quality eating experiences. The ranch is under a conservation easement to forever keep it whole and in open space.
