  Cwm Ceffyl Ranch
 
 
 
Cwm Ceffyl Ranch is located in the bottomlands of the Bijou Basin on the banks of West Bijou Creek.  It is home to registered Texas Longhorn cattle, Border Collies, Quarterhorses, and a host of local wildlife including mule deer, North American pronghorn, bald & golden eagles, numerous species of hawks and falcons, great horned owls, burrowing owls, wild turkeys, coyotes, badgers, mountain lions, bobcats, and western prairie rattlesnakes.   

The ranch was built by Chuck & Kadie Hughes.   "Cwm Ceffyl" is Welsh for Horse Valley.   Thus, Cwm Ceffyl Ranch would translate to Horse Valley Ranch. 
 
Cwm Ceffyl Ranch always welcomes visitors.  Please feel free to stop by and visit.   Just give us a call (ranch house is 303.621.9140, or Chuck's mobile 303.243.1130) or email (ranch@cwmceffyl.com) to make and appointment or to make sure we are home!
