Another employee shoutout!
This one goes to our ranch manager who has been with Double K since 2022. Jeff joined the team in a time of uncertainty when we were really taking a hard look at what we were doing as a business, and where we wanted to go with our operation into the future. The cattle industry can be a tough one, and we had many discussions of how to make it work. While we figured everything out, between wholesale, farmers markets, the food truck, selling animals, and now two restaurants, Jeff was there, supporting us and pushing the ranch to grow in whatever way made the most sense.
From running the day to day operations at the ranch to building whatever we need, fixing plumbing, dealing with stuck vehicles in the field, and anything else that happens on a ranch. It is a job with a large variety of tasks including animal welfare, irrigation, haying, plowing, feeding, branding, fixing stuff constantly, and the list just goes on and on at the ranch, Jeff does it all.
After years of figuring this whole thing out, and now solely focusing on our meat shop at the ranch and the two restaurant locations in Missoula, I can say with certainty that everyone here on the ranch loves the path we have taken. We get to create the products we want, get direct feedback from our customers, and actually see what becomes of our animals as opposed to shipping them off to who knows where and never seeing them again. Well into his 5th year here at Double K, Jeff tackles whatever we need without hesitation, here’s to many more years of ranching and raising happy, healthy animals!
