When you know your rancher, you know your food.
We’re proud to partner with Oxbow Cattle Company, a family-run, Montana ranch, dedicated to raising exceptional beef with care, stewardship, and respect for the land. Their cattle are thoughtfully grazed between the Bitterroot River, Miller Creek, and the Sapphire Range, where healthy soil, healthy animals, and responsible ranching go hand in hand.

Here’s what makes their ranching so unique and inspiring:
🤝The owners, Wendy and Bart, partner with local organizations to protect land from urban development, to regenerate creeks and riparian areas and reestablish native flora and fauna.
🌄They graze cattle on varied terrain in multiple locations.
🐂Their cattle are bred for selected genetics that work with the land.
🐴Cattle moves are done on foot or horseback to reduce undue stress.
☠They don’t use herbicides, fertilizers, dewormers, or growth hormones.

Their hands-on approach and dedication to responsible ranching produces high-quality beef while helping preserve Montana’s agricultural heritage for generations to come. Stop by our Meat & Seafood Department to find Oxbow beef and taste the difference that comes from healthy, happy cows.🐮

Happy 8th conservation birthday, Oxbow Cattle Company! 🎉

In April of 2018, Bart and Wendy Morris, Five Valleys, the City of Missoula through the Missoula Open Space Bond, and the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service came togther to permanently protect 168 acres of the Oxbow Cattle Co. ranch in lower Miller Creek.

In addition to providing local beef to the Missoula community, the ranch holds over a mile of Miller Creek, which supports native trout. Over 90% of the land itself is made up of important agricutlural soils.

"As local ranchers, our relationship with nature not only sustains our business but it feeds our souls. Protecting our land from development with a conservation easement means that not only do we get to live our dream of a ranching lifestyle, but future generations will have the same opportunity to experience what we love and cherish." - Wendy and Bart Morris
