  • Behind the Ranch Gate with Russell Freeman: 125 Years of Colorado Heritage & Black Longhorn Innovation

    by Molly Clubb | Sep 02, 2025
    At Freeman Ranch in Yoder, Colorado, heritage runs as deep as the canyons that cut across the land. Fifth-generation rancher Russell Freeman carries forward the legacy of the Cross Lazy V brand, first registered in 1899 by his great-grandmother. Today, Russell blends that legacy with innovation, building one of the largest herds of true black Texas Longhorns in the world. In this article, Russell shares how his family’s history shaped his path, why he chose black Longhorns as his niche, and how partnerships like the Freeman–Jernigan collaboration have strengthened his program. He also opens up about ranching in Colorado’s high desert, the challenges of breeding cattle in a tough environment, and why sustainable practices are critical for long-term success. For new breeders, his advice is simple but powerful: start with the best cows you can afford, learn from others, and don’t be afraid to adapt. Freeman Ranch proves that tradition and technology can work hand in hand to build a thriving program.
