It has come to our attention that the photos of pigs on our website were leading some people to the understandable, but false accusations that there is swine on the property at 241 Capricorn Drive in Emigrant, MT. We apologize for the confusion created by the photos on our website and have accordingly removed them to make clear that no swine have ever been kept at 241 Capricorn Drive, Emigrant Montana.

Furthermore, Yellowstone River Ranch, LLC will no longer be posting any business related information on social media or through our website. If you have any questions or would like to talk with us please send an email.

Thank you for your understanding.

How does it work?
We will put your name on the list once we receive a deposit of $250. The beef will should be ready to harvest as early as September.

If you wish you buy a live animal and take it to your own butcher or do it yourself please let us know- we do sell live READY-TO-GO Steers!

The butcher will contact you directly to ask how you would like to customize your cuts of beef (we will supply you with a sheet to fill out with options).

When the beef goes to the butcher we will call you and you will pay Yellowstone River Ranch for the live cow (whole, half or quarter). When the meat is ready for pick up you will pay your portion of the processing fees and kill charges directly to the butcher. You will be responsible to pick up your meat from the butcher, we will let you know where this location will be. We can arrange delivery upon request.

How much does it cost?
We have two cost options available. We can sell the whole live animal for $2.50/pound ON-THE-HOOF. You will need to pick up at the ranch house and schedule with your own butcher.

Otherwise we will be charging $3.90/lb. ON-THE-RAIL. (See above) This will be paid directly to YRR.

Estimated Butcher Processing Fees = $0.85/lb. based on dressed weight + Kill Charge $145/animal. Butcher fees may change. (This will be paid directly to the butcher)

Example Sizes (exact weight of each beef will vary, you will be charged for your beef only- our butcher guarantees you will get the meat from your beef!)
