WHO ARE WE?

we are a small, FAMILY-OWNED hobby Ranch in Elizabeth, CO.

Charnobragan Acres, a name derived from the names of our four children-Charlie, Nolan, Braeleigh and Megan, was established in early June 2021. Always a dream of ours, we packed up all our belongings and moved from the hustle and bustle of the I-70 corridor near Evergreen, Colorado to our now peaceful 28 acre farm in south Elizabeth, Colorado!

Charnobragan Acres is a Veteran and Nurse owned, small hobby Ranch. Alan is a Firefighter/Paramedic in North Denver. Samantha is a Registered Nurse, spending the entirety of her career in critical care/ICU’s. We take pride, and are thankful every day for those who have, and continue to serve our amazing country.

Alan and Samantha Graham, along with their four children, happily live along side a plethora of animals. Here at Charnobragan Acres, we raise Scottish Highland and British White cattle, a variety of different chickens, as well as our family dogs!

We believe in raising all of our animals humanely, and most importantly, healthy. We strive in quality over quantity-always producing the best of the best in respects to the breed standards and conformation. Our goal is to raise only the finest quality breeding stock and meat producers imaginable!
