J&L Ranch

J&L Ranch is a Hereford cattle breeder in Hamilton, MT, Ravalli County in the Bitterroot Valley near Missoula. The ranch was established in 1985 on a family homestead and with more than 20 years of breeding experience it holds membership in the American Hereford Association. Regular health evaluations include annual vaccinations and genetic screening to maintain herd health.

The ranch follows sustainable practices, rotating grazing areas to preserve soil health and maintaining clean water sources year round. Feeding programs emphasize forage quality and ongoing breeder guidance ensures cattle are suited to various ranching goals. Recent buyers note the gentle disposition and consistent growth rates of their calves.
