Montana Home Ranch:
The Lazy SR Ranch operates in the Shields River Valley, near Wilsall, and has done so since Montana was a territory. The Ranch is headquartered on the historic Shields River, named by William Clark of the Lewis and Clark Expedition after John Shields, the blacksmith in the Corps of Discovery. The Home Ranch runs about 700 Black Angus mother cows. The Ranch is Montana Beef Quality Assurance Certified Producer #1342 and possesses State of Montana Premises Identification #00869WI.
North Dakota Operation:
In addition to the home ranch operation in south central Montana, two hours north of Yellowstone National Park, the Ranch also owns Black Angus cows in western North Dakota, north of Killdeer, on the Gene Harris Ranch. Gene, a former President of the North Dakota Cattlemen's Association, runs about 175 Black Angus cattle for us.
