Our Story
In 1946, Grandpa Milburn moved his family from western Kansas to a ranch south of Arriba, Colorado, bringing Angus cattle descended from the original four bulls imported from Scotland to Kansas in 1873. By keeping his good cows and culling the rest, he built his "Super Momma" herd.
In 2012 we bought back the old Milburn South Fork Ranch. After a 2014 tornado took what was left of the original barn, we got serious: rebuilt, began selling Roto Grind grinders, and transitioned from Angus to Wagyu.
Today Bryan and Anna Milburn run a BQA-certified Wagyu program focused on high-quality replacement heifers, with our kids managing the recip herd north of Hays, Kansas. Great cows raise great calves.
Our Journey
The Milburns come to Arriba
Grandpa Milburn moves his Angus herd from western Kansas to a ranch south of Arriba, Colorado.
Back to our roots
From the Cactus Ridge Ranch near Grand Junction to the Milburn-Kroh Ranch on the Eastern Plains; almost 1,000 acres by 2012.
South Fork bought back
We buy back the old Milburn South Fork Ranch and move the whole operation to the home place.
Get serious or get out of the way
A tornado destroys the original barn. We rebuild, transition from Angus to Wagyu, and take on the Roto Grind dealership for Southeastern Colorado.
