CTL Farm and Ranch
Yuma County
A hearty pioneer woman’s spirit was the beginning of the legacy for this northeast Colorado farm and ranch. Annie and Samuel Seward came to Colorado in 1888 with five small children in a prairie schooner to homestead in Yuma County.
Annie was known to have brought one of the first Brown Swiss Milk Cow herds to Colorado. She remained in charge of the herd until the age of 85. Corn and wheat have been the main crops throughout the years and the rich grass of the prairie canyons has fed several head of cows and calves.
The farm is now owned by the fifth generation of women in agriculture and they hope to continue to be good stewards of the land in order that future generations can benefit from the bounty the eastern plains produce.
