Crowley County Agriculture Built Tough
Post-Frame Building Materials in Ordway, CO
Ordway is the county seat of Crowley County — a small, resilient farming community in the Arkansas River valley of southeastern Colorado where cattle ranching, dryland farming, and the remnants of once-thriving irrigated agriculture define the landscape. Western Building Supply delivers complete post-frame packages to Ordway contractors, engineered for the open-terrain wind and hot-summer conditions of the central Arkansas valley.

Crowley County is one of Colorado's smallest and most tenacious agricultural communities. After decades of water transfers sent much of the county's irrigation water to Front Range cities, the local economy pivoted to dryland farming, cattle ranching on the open grasslands, and the solar energy development that has found a natural home on the county's flat, sun-drenched terrain. Contractors building in the Ordway area put up the ranch buildings, equipment shops, hay storage, and livestock handling facilities that the cattle economy demands, along with the support structures for the county's growing renewable energy infrastructure. Every building here earns its keep.
Western Building Supply serves Ordway via US-50 and US-71, approximately 300 miles from our Wheatland, Wyoming manufacturing facility through Pueblo and east along the Arkansas corridor. At 4,312 feet on the open southeastern plains, Ordway faces the combination of low elevation, flat terrain, and unobstructed wind exposure that characterizes the central Arkansas valley. Summer heat is intense — consistent triple-digit days from June through August — and the UV environment degrades inferior building materials quickly. We engineer every Crowley County package for these conditions, with wind-rated structural systems and steel coatings built for heat and UV resistance.
When Ordway contractors need ranch-tough materials for the Arkansas valley, they call Western.

Why Ordway Contractors Choose Western
Ranch and Livestock Buildings for Crowley County
Crowley County's cattle operations work some of the most open, demanding terrain in southeastern Colorado. We engineer calving barns, hay storage, livestock handling facilities, and equipment shops for the actual conditions these buildings face: open-range wind exposure, hot summers, cold winters, and the daily wear of real ranch work. Our laminated columns and trusses are built for decades of service in an environment that doesn't forgive shortcuts.
Hot-Climate Durability
Southeastern Colorado summers deliver sustained heat and intense UV radiation that destroy lesser building materials. Our steel panels carry a 40-year paint warranty formulated for high-UV, high-heat environments — no fading, no chalking, no premature failure. Fasteners, sealants, and trim components are all specified for the thermal cycling that Crowley County's temperature extremes impose. Your building looks sharp at year twenty, not just year one.

Ordway's position on the US-50/US-71 junction connects to the I-25 Pueblo interchange, giving WBS a reliable freight corridor from our Wheatland facility.
