I am working as an engineer and would like to return to raising livestock as a first-generation rancher, together with my wife and four young kids. My training is both theoretical and practical, from a Bachelor of Science degree and several years working as a technician.
While growing up in Montana I owned several sheep and other farm animals, and I participated in 4H livestock projects for around 8 years. I regularly cared for neighbors’ horses and cattle. As an outdoorsman, I am passionate about responsible conservation of the land.

Please elaborate on the type(s) of agricultural operation you plan on running.

My goal is to develop a commercial ranching operation in Montana for producing cattle, hay, and other meat animals, to provide high quality food to people.
My goal is to create a sustainable future for my kids, by responsibly managing land/grazing and wildlife interfaces.

If you are interested in another type of business arrangement, please explain

I seek an opportunity to become a first-generation rancher, for my family to eventually own, occupy, and manage a ranching operation.
