Ferrat Ranch

Ferrat Ranch, Limousin cattle, Toston, MT, in Broadwater County and the Rocky Mountain region near Helena. John Ferrat has managed the ranch for more than a decade, maintaining membership with the American Limousin Association, participating in national performance recording programs, and upholding regular genetic and health testing for every herd while practicing environmental stewardship.

Animals graze on diverse native pastures along the Missouri River valley, where rotational grazing supports soil health, plant diversity, and natural foraging habits. Calves benefit from early socialization in open paddocks, daily herd checks, and gentle acclimation to handling facilities, so stress levels remain low. Mineral supplements are tailored seasonally to promote robust growth, reproductive health, and overall well-being.

An open barn design and minimal handling protocols encourage natural herd behavior and ease routine care. Herds trace back to foundation bloodlines prized for maternal instincts and feed efficiency. Regional buyers highlight consistent temperament and steady weight gains as hallmarks of Ferrat Ranch Limousin cattle.
