Taylor Rieder is the daughter of Jim Hett, the owner of Blind Badger Ranch. Having grown up right on the farm, she’s always been heavily involved in her family’s operations and has always had the fire in her to take things to the next level! After graduating from Colorado State University in 2016, she returned home and hasn’t looked back since. Her and her husband, Bryan, are actively involved in the cattle, crop and turfgrass portions of their family businesses.

Taylor has been the face and driving force of what BBR hay has flourished into today! She’s always known that her father was a perfectionist when it came to growing and putting up high quality hay for their own cattle. With that, she began marketing their hay to local customers, large dairies and livestock owners across the front range of Colorado. Today, this dream of hers now ships and sells hay across the United States and is a highly reputable hay operation nationwide! They specialize in premium quality hay that’s available in 14-bale bundles, 3x4 squares and large round bales. She is thankful and proud to have built a strong customer base who believes in their product and for strangers who are now family!

Taylor emphasizes that none of this would be possible without her father’s expertise, the guys in the field and their amazing customers who have entrusted in them over the years! Taylor is grateful to have had Tyne Phelps join her team back in 2021, which has allowed her to spend extra time with her twin girls, Jaci & Riley!
