History of Toedtli Ranch

Toedtli Ranch has a lengthy history in the state of Colorado resulting in our current ranch in Stoneham, CO.

William Toedtli started building his first ranch after he left home at age 14 in 1914. He was a cattle trader who went from farm to farm on horseback and eventually in a truck.  He would buy cattle and horses from the farms and drive them to Denver to resell. During WWI in the Derby, CO area farmers were forced to sell their bulls. William would buy them and then rent them to dairy farmers. With success he bought the first ranch which was a dairy farm during the remainder of the war and then a dude ranch in the 1940’s.  William Toedtli bought the land for the current Toedtli Ranch in 1959 after he sold the ranch in the flat-irons.

William’s youngest, John Toedtli, started running the ranch in the 1960’s and through the 70’s ran Black Angus Herford Cross Cattle. Toedtli Ranch was known for the quaility of its “black baldy’s.” John bought out William in 1982 and began raising red angus in the mid-80’s.  Toedtli Ranch became a Certified Red Angus Ranch in the late 90’s. In 2007, Craig Toedtli and Linda Shawcross began running the ranch.
