Colorado Beef Council

Colorado Beef Council Proudly representing the farming and ranching families of Colorado; the true environmental stewards of the land.

The Colorado Beef Board was formed in 1965 in accordance to the Promotion and Marketing Beef Act which was approved April 23, 1965 and put into effect July 1, 1965. A name change to the Colorado Beef Council (CBC) came in July of 1985 with the passing of the Beef Board Bill. The Council is controlled by a Board of Directors appointed by the Governor of Colorado, consisting of eight industry repres

entatives from the cattle producer, cattle feeder, dairy, livestock operators and processing industries of Colorado. In 1985, with the passage of the Beef Promotion and Research Act (BPRA) and the Beef Promotion and Research Order (BPRO), Colorado Beef Council was authorized to become a qualified state council (QSBC) to collect the checkoff for the Cattlemens' Beef Promotion and Research Board (CBB). QSBCs must have written procedures that ensure the proper collection of and compliance with the checkoff as prescribed by the BPRA, the BPRO, and the CBB. The CBC programs are financed by the $1 per head assessment on sales of Colorado domestic cattle. Revenue is collected as sales of cattle are brand inspected or remitted to the CBC by other states. The CBC is required to contribute to the CBB fifty percent of gross fees resulting of sales of cattle.

Every ranch has a story—and this one unfolds right where Colorado communities and agriculture meet.
In this episode of Colorado Ranch Stories, we visit Bob and Kristen Welch, who ranch near Castle Rock, Colorado. Operating on public lands, they interact regularly with hikers, neighbors, and community members—offering a unique opportunity to connect people directly to where their beef comes from.
Through thoughtful, regenerative grazing practices, the Welches are focused on caring for the land, supporting healthy ecosystems, and raising cattle responsibly. Their work reflects a deep commitment to stewardship, transparency, and building trust with the public.
This is Colorado ranching—where land, livestock, and community come together.
