Our Business

A work in progress

KJ'n Ranch Inc. is investigating the potential of running a Sheep Dairy operation in Montana supporting the Northwestern States for cheese, yogurt, soap and maybe ice-cream.

We have a small herd of Dorper sheep for meat production which produces a very high quality lamb.  Not large enough for commercial production, we want to research a dual operation by adding a dairy function which initial data indicates a better potential for higher returns per capita than the meat production.
