Though cattle ranching is predominantly associated with the West, it was sheep ranching that first paved the way for a successful live stock industry. By providing wool, meat, and milk, these incredibly versatile animals compliment the abilities of grazing cattle as practical tools for the benefit of productive pasture management. Sieben Live Stock Co provides the co-op with tender, fattened lambs twice per year through a seasonally appropriate schedule.

The LF is focused on building their cattle herd while mapping out the various parts of the ranch so that intentional planning and management can be made in conjunction with continually changing conditions. As a cow/calf operation, they are focused on the health and growth of the herd with plans to increase the overall beef supply chain of the co-op in 2025 and beyond. 

As one of the cattle producers for the co-op, J Bar L provides quality grass-fattened cattle utilizing a strategic adaptive grazing system which allows them to respond to the sometimes extreme weather conditions affecting  dry land range of the Greater Yellowstone ecosystem. Through intentional management, they've dealt with prolonged drought and intensive heat waves while also increasing the bio-diversity and regeneration of vulnerable landscapes.

Cordova Farm raises multiple species of animals, but their well adapted pigs supply the majority of the co-op's pork needs. Their focus is on slower growing, higher quality heritage breeds, which means every step of the process from birth to bacon is managed with great care. During Spring, Summer, and Fall, their pigs enjoy plenty of open pasture along with a quality, locally sourced feed that results in ruby red pork chops that have a wonderful depth of flavor.
