Currently my fiancé and I are living on his families ranch where he’s been for 25 years. He has raised cattle and out hay up his entire life. I went to college and graduated with honors with my Ag Communications degree. Currently I own my full time photography business, a network marketing business, I do bodywork on large animals, and help my fiancé Ranch here. Previously I’ve worked for the NWARC in Creston montana as an Ag Research Center, my fiancé has worked as a foreman for a fencing company as well as being the foreman of the family ranch, and night calving for the neighbor who had over 300hd. Both of us are incredibly hard working and know how to manage operations of over 1200 acres. We are just trying to find our way as beginning ranchers and find a property that we can eventually own or get us in a position to buy.
