Ririe Farms

Ririe Farms, Shetland sheep breeders in Cut Bank, MT, is nestled in Glacier County and the Rocky Mountain Front near Great Falls. For over a decade Jack Ririe has followed careful breed association guidelines and implemented routine health screenings to give each lamb a strong start. The flock grazes on open pastures, rotating through fenced paddocks that encourage lush forage and social bonding among ewes and lambs.

As a member of the Montana Sheep Producers Association they maintain records on fleece weight, fiber quality and growth rates. Their small-scale farm allows personalized care, with feeding and hoof trimming done by hand to ensure the flock stays calm and healthy. Visitors often remark on the gentle temperament of the sheep during lambing demonstrations and grazing tours. Local fiber artists value the well crimped, naturally colored fleeces for spinning and small-batch weaving projects.
