Dr. Alan Villavicencio isn’t your typical rancher. He’s one of the world’s few dual-trained brain and spine surgeons—and that’s just the beginning. He’s also a volunteer firefighter, mountaineer, and devoted family man.

Years ago, Alan’s passion for health and healing sparked a new journey: finding clean, local, whole foods. Frustrated by the high prices and limited options at local markets, he took matters into his own hands—raising his own cattle and livestock to feed his family better.

As his kids grew, so did his vision: to create a ranch where they could connect with nature, hard work, and healthy living. That vision became VAV Cattle Co.—a family-run operation rooted in integrity, wellness, and community.

Today, VAV Cattle Co. is a thriving part of Colorado’s ranching community. We offer premium, locally raised beef, fresh-cut hay, firewood, and other essentials—all backed by a deep commitment to quality and care.
