College in Fort Collins, CO.  Lloyd’s
love of horses began as soon as he could walk. 
He bought his first cows at the age of 16 from monies earned scooping
snow and mowing lawns in Trinidad.  This
was the beginning of his life long ranching career which he was blessed to live
the life he loved.  Lloyd worked several
years at La Junta Livestock and the R P Lewis where he mouthed and showed
horses to make ends meet. He broke and traded horses to provide for his family
and continue the ranching life that he loved.

closer to the highway, where they enjoyed 74 years of marriage. Lloyd was a
