Lvstk & Range Research Sta is a Hereford cattle breeder in Miles City, MT, in eastern Montana near Billings. The herd has been developed over several generations with an emphasis on sound structure and consistent maternal performance.

Cattle graze on native grasslands and have access to shelter and fresh water year-round, with low-stress handling routines to support well-being. As a former agricultural research site, the ranch integrates practical trials with breeding selection to improve calving ease and forage efficiency. Careful record keeping and open pasture management reflect their commitment to management practices that balance productivity and animal comfort. The team also participates in regional livestock fairs and sales to benchmark offspring performance and share management practices. Family members on site oversee day-to-day care and maintain facilities with attention to pasture quality.
