Our vision
To develop a homestead scale, regenerative ranch enriching the land and community by building healthy soil, sequestering water and carbon, raising happy animals, nourishing our neighbors, and hosting guests to learn, connect, and rest in nature.
We raise heritage livestock — including Highland cattle and Navajo-Churro sheep — chosen for their hardiness, cultural significance, and role in restoring ecosystems.
About us
We’re Kevin and Monica, the husband-and-wife team behind Cerulean Skies Ranch. In 2023, we set out on a year-long RV trip with our dogs and cat to see the country and decide where to build our future.
When we thought about raising a family and building a ranching business, we wanted to be close enough to Monica’s family in New Mexico while still finding land that offered alpine pastures, open space, and a compatible community. Pagosa Springs gave us exactly that balance. In 2025, we made the move permanent — a decision shaped by both personal roots and a commitment to creating a regenerative ranch in a place we’re proud to call home.
Why Cerulean?
About two months into dating, while traveling through Asia, we found ourselves in a swimming pool at a hostel playing what Monica calls “the color game” (unbenownst to Kevin, this was a made-up game from Monica’s childhood that, apparently, no one else plays). The rules were simple: one person holds the other in the water, thinks of a color, and the other tries to guess it. If they guess wrong, they get dunked.
After Monica explained the rules, Kevin suggested that they make it challenging by choosing an obscure color. Monica secretly picked “cerulean”. Kevin guessed it…on his very first try.
Since then, “cerulean” has become our word for those unexplainable moments when we just seem to read each other’s minds. When it came time to name our new home and ranch, it felt like the perfect fit — a nod to blue skies, deep connection, and over 300 days of sunshine a year.
