SLW Ranch, Historic district in Weld County, Colorado, United States.
The SLW Ranch extends across 2,200 acres near the confluence of the Platte River and Crow Creek, featuring 17 buildings and 12 structures.
The ranch began in the 1880s as the Percheron-Norman Horse Ranch, established by John Studebaker and Lafayette Lamb on land purchased from Lord Lyulph Ogilvy.
The property transitioned from one of America's largest horse operations to a significant Hereford cattle ranch, reflecting the evolution of western agriculture.
Located 8 miles east of Greeley, Colorado, the ranch maintains its agricultural operations while preserving its historical structures and landscape.
The ranch's name combines initials from its three founding partners: Studebaker, Lamb, and Witwer, who transformed it into a cattle breeding center.
