Crooked Creek Timber is a mill in Rye, Colorado. It has a Google Maps business listing in that category. It is also listed as a logging contractor. A listing here is not an endorsement.
Native Lumber, LLC is a sawmill in Rye, Colorado. It's a family-owned operation, now in its 4th generation, cutting lumber "the way it's been done for generations." They work in Ponderosa, White Fir, Douglas Fir, Engelmann Spruce, and Aspen. The mill handles rough sawn lumber, timber frame posts and beams, and custom building packages cut to order. Timber frame work goes up to 28 inches wide by 26 feet long. They also do fire mitigation work, for landowners whose "timber going wild and your brush a little too brushy." Beyond milling, they also do logging and land clearing or site work. Ordering is plain: you call, tell them what you need, and they take it from there. Orders over $1,000 need a deposit to get started. They work within about a 90-mile radius of their mill site in Rye, covering places like Colorado City, Pueblo, Westcliffe, Colorado Springs, Walsenburg, Trinidad, Alamosa, Lamar, and La Junta. They've been running since 2017. There's no stated minimum order size. This is a good fit for a landowner who wants custom-cut lumber, timber frame material, or mitigation work done by people milling it themselves, rather than a sawmill looking to buy standing timber.

Pueblo Wood Products is a sawmill in Pueblo, Colorado, at 1110 E Northern Ave. It buys timber from regional loggers and also runs its own logging and forest management work, so a landowner could end up dealing with them either as the mill at the end of the chain or as the ones doing the cutting. The work covers fire mitigation and forest management on "private, state, or federal lands," and they say they're "fully mechanized." Their stated process is simple: cut to the landowner's specification, remove and market the wood, and let the remaining forest regenerate. They say they strive to use 100% of every tree cut, turning what's not sawn into bark, woodchip, sawdust, soil amendments, biochar, and firewood. No species are named, and there's no set price list, they ask that you call for rates and specifications. They list Pueblo County as served. The sawmill side was established in 2006 to handle smaller diameter timber from regional Colorado forests, mostly producing pallet boards. The broader company goes back to 1988, when it started as a family pallet and crate manufacturer and grew from there. This fits a landowner in or near Pueblo County who wants one outfit that can both log the trees and take the wood, especially if some of what's coming off the land is smaller diameter timber that a straight sawlog buyer might not want.

How much is my timber worth in Pueblo County?
Nobody can tell you what your timber is worth without walking it. Value depends on the species, the size and grade of the trees, how thickly they stand, the ground conditions and how easily a logger can reach them. Anyone who quotes you a figure without seeing the land is guessing, and a guess in that direction is rarely in your favour.
What stumpage value means →Do I need a forestry consultant to sell timber in Pueblo County?
You do not have to use one. A consulting forester works for you rather than the buyer, marks the timber, runs a sealed-bid sale and typically charges a percentage of the sale. Research from several state extension services has found that timber sold through a consultant often returns enough more to cover the fee, though results vary by tract and by market. The decision usually turns on the size of the sale and whether you have sold timber before.
