Our Story
Welcome to Belmont Springs Ranch
A family legacy of hard work, healing, and wholesome food.
Nestled in the heart of Montana, Belmont Springs Ranch is a small, family-owned homestead with a big purpose: to provide clean, ethically raised meat from animals raised with care, intention, and integrity.
Our journey began more than 20 years ago with a love for animals and a desire to live simply and sustainably. Over the years, we’ve raised dairy goats, meat goats, cattle, pigs, sheep, rabbits, and poultry. In 2021, my husband Steve and I moved our family to a 160-acre piece of untamed land in Golden Valley County—a historic homestead that hadn’t seen life in decades. No water, no electricity, no house, and not a tree in sight. Just wide-open space and a vision.
We lived in camper trailers that first summer as we built our home by hand. That same year, we began establishing our livestock: Dorper and Katahdin sheep, Great Pyrenees livestock guardian dogs, dairy goats, meat goats, poultry, and Black Angus cattle. Our goal was to grow enough to feed our large family—and eventually build a sustainable business that could serve others.
In 2022, Steve retired from his corporate job and launched his own construction business. But in March 2023, he suffered a grand mal seizure. We soon learned his melanoma had returned as brain tumors. After a courageous battle, Steve passed away on October 22, just weeks after our 30th wedding anniversary.
Left with the immense task of raising and homeschooling our eight youngest children (we have 19 total), stewarding this dryland ranch, and finding a way to move forward, 2024 was a year of grief and adjustment. But as a wise cousin reminded me, “The only way to eat an elephant is one bite at a time.” So here I am, taking those bites—one day at a time.
Our Mission
At Belmont Springs Ranch, we believe food should heal—not harm. During Steve’s treatment, his doctors emphasized the need for food that was clean, natural, and nourishing. That message stuck with us. Today, we are committed to producing meat that meets that standard for you and your family.
What We Offer
*Pasture-Raised Lamb – Our primary focus, available through direct sales.
*Goat Meat (Limited Supply)

How We Raise Our Animals
Our animals are like part of the family. The children spend hours with them, moving, herding, playing with them. They ewes are all named and answer when called. They are grass-fed and pasture-raised using intensive rotational grazing—a method that restores soil health and improves pasture quality. We do not use:
*Chemical fertilizers or herbicides
*Hormones
*Routine antibiotics
*Synthetic growth stimulants
We raise our animals the old-fashioned way—naturally and with respect for both the land and the life it sustains.
