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
Family is at the heart of everything we do. Our faith in God guides how we care for our family, our cattle, our land, and the people we serve, reminding us that we are stewards of what has been entrusted to us.
Chad is involved in the cattle operation while also working his other businesses in local hauling and forestry. Nicole oversees the accounting, sales, and marketing for the business. Together, we have raised our boys around cattle and agriculture, teaching them the value of hard work, responsibility, and carrying on the traditions of those who came before us.
Tyler and Jace have grown up feeding cattle, scraping pens, and even owning cattle that became part of Mountain View Meats. Today, their roles have grown with them. Jace works our farms in Mitchell, Nebraska, growing much of the feed used in our feed yard, while Tyler manages the feed yard in North Fort Collins. Tyler is carrying forward the knowledge and traditions passed down through generations while also looking for new ideas and innovations to improve the way we care for our cattle and operate our business.
For us, Mountain View Meats is more than a business—it is a way of life. We are grateful for the opportunity to work together as a family, build on the foundation laid by previous generations, and create something our children can carry forward into the future.
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.
The Uthmann family is committed to caring for their community, 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.
