T-Heart Ranch, founded by Shane and Beth Temple in 1993, is located near
Del Norte, Colorado in the beautiful San Luis Valley. A family business, the
ranch has grown from 30 head of cattle on rented land to a thriving business
with about 1,000 head of Sim Angus, Simmental, Balancer, and Angus cattle. The
T-Heart Ranch program focuses on producing high-quality, altitude-adapted
cattle for their customers across the country. With a ranch ranging from 7,600-
11,000 feet in elevation, the Temple family is no stranger to Brisket disease,
and have worked hard to create a successful high-altitude breeding program
for their customers.
The American Quarter Horse breeding program is relatively new to
T-Heart Ranch, but their commitment to excellence remains consistent in
this division of the operation. Presently running a broodmare band of 10
accomplished National Cutting Horse Association and National Reined Cow
Horse Association broodmares and selectively crossing these elite individuals to
industry-leading sires is the heart of the program. T-Heart Ranch’s home-breds
are utilized in all phases of ranch work and are expected be work horses
first, however due to the quality genetics, they have also gone on to perform
in cutting and cow horse events.
T-Heart Ranch is a proud supporter of Colorado State University Equine
Sciences and the Legends of Ranching program.
