Mountain View Meats is a family-run ranch in Northern Colorado where three generations work together every day to keep the farm running. The goal is simple: to provide the community with high-quality beef you can trust.
The Uthmanns
Roger & Vicki Uthmann
Roger and Vicki both grew up in agriculture and owned and operated a dairy farm for 20 years. Their experience in dairy and cow-calf operations helped shape the feedlot the family purchased in 2015. Their attention to detail and passion for raising cattle set the standard for Mountain View Meats’ quality. Today, they live on the Virginia Dale ranch homesteaded by Vicki’s family in 1903.
Chad, Nicole, Tyler & Jace Uthmann
Raising boys and being self-employed has made for a busy, but rewarding, lifestyle. In addition to the cattle operation, Chad also works in local hauling and forestry. Nicole handles the accounting, sales and marketing.
Tyler and Jace are actively involved in the ranch and feedlot. They grew up feeding cattle, scraping pens, and even owning cattle that are part of Mountain View Meats. Now, they’re managing the feedlot, and running our hog operation.
The History
Mountain View Meats traces its roots back to 1903, when the family first settled in Virginia Dale. The ranch has been continuously operated ever since. The addition of a feedlot allows them to oversee cattle from calf to finish, ensuring they’re fed and cared for using best practices. Today, their team also includes a cattle nutritionist and consulting veterinarians to support the health and quality of their herd.
When pandemic disruptions hit the meat industry, the Uthmann family shifted to selling direct, helping meet their community’s need for reliable, high-quality beef straight from the source.
Guided by their Christian values, the family is committed to caring for their neighbors, their land, and the animals they raise. To ensure quality at every step, they partnered to open Bear Mountain Beef, a USDA-inspected processing facility where beef is aged 14+ days and carefully overseen from start to finish.
