About

THE FLYING DIAMOND RANCH

is a fifth generation family owned and operated commercial cattle ranch located in eastern Colorado. Our family has been running cattle and caring for the arid prairie rangeland here in Kit Carson since 1907. As we look towards future generations on the Flying Diamond Ranch, we remain steadfast in managing a financially sustainable operation by continually improving our cattle, enhancing our natural resources and persevering our close family relationships.
