Hall of Champions

Our newest awards: Premier Exhibitor and Get-of-Sire (Thorbardin's Gandolf) from showing at the National Western Stock Show in January 2005. As Gandolf has long been recognized in the region as one of the top bulls, the Ranch is proud that his offspring and his consistency allowed him to win this nationally recognized award.

Thorbardin Ranch first showed in 1997 at the National Western Stock Show (NWSS) since that time we have steadily improved each and every year. Thorbardin Ranch has always shown moderate framed cattle with exceptional conformation.

Thorbardin Ranch now only shows at the National Western Stock Show held each year in January in Denver, Colorado.

Thorbardin Ranch's most cherished awards are those that represent the depth of our quality along with the consistency of our show strings that we bring to Denver each and every year. Awards like Premier Breeder and Exhibitor, along with Get-of-Sire.

For our company to be successful, it takes a team effort to win and to win consistently. All of our employees take a tremendous amount of pride in these animals. They work hard and long in getting these animals ready for the shows. We look forward to the continual challenge of producing outstanding Highland cattle every year.

It is important to remember it takes quality cows and exceptional bulls to produce even better offspring.

Here are some of our top show cattle and their show records.
