Kootenai Springs Ranch

Kootenai Springs Ranch is a family-run operation raising Wagyu cattle in Stevensville, MT, in Ravalli County and the Bitterroot Valley near Missoula. Kootenai Springs Ranch is dedicated to breed-specific health testing and participates in state livestock associations. The ranch belongs to regional associations and follows national guidelines for sustainable beef production.

Animals are raised on open pastures and receive daily handling to encourage calm temperaments and smooth herd integration. Young calves are introduced to gentle handling routines and early pasture rotation on native grasses, building resilience and a balanced disposition. Attention to balanced nutrition, rotational grazing, and seasonal fencing ensures herd comfort and optimal weight gain across Montana’s changing weather patterns.

The ranch’s commitment extends to select breeding lines that demonstrate marbling consistency and moderate frame size. Visitors note a welcoming farm atmosphere and clear documentation of bloodlines and health records.
