About the host
Hosted by Nancy and Steve Oswald

Your hosts, Steve and Nancy Oswald are the proud owners of Oswald Cattle Company, a family-run ranch dedicated to producing high-quality, grass-finished beef raised responsibly and sustainably in the beautiful Sangre de Cristo mountains. As lifelong stewards of both land and livestock, they’ve built a life rooted in hard work, community, and the rugged beauty of Colorado’s high country.
Why they chose this property
Steve first discovered his love for ranching in Hillside in his twenty's. It was here that he learned the rhythms of the land, the value of hard work, and the quiet joy of tending to animals and open spaces.
Now, five decades later, Steve and Nancy own Hillside Ranch—a full circle moment that speaks to the enduring power of place and passion. What began as a youthful spark has grown into a lifelong commitment to stewardship, community, and connection to the land.
