Stillwater Ranch Montana

Located outside of Bozeman, Montana. We converted our commercial Angus herd to a regeneratively grazed Murray Grey grass finished beef program in 2015.

Our Murray Greys have been selected for balanced traits and ease of ownership. Fertility first, moderately framed, maternal females backed by commercial minded profitability standards.

Our females are expected to calve unassisted at 24 months old and breed back within a 45 day season year after year without hormone stimulants. You won’t find any fat pretty cows in our program, they are hard working females that raise profitable calves on grass.

As one of the largest purebred, registered Murray Grey herds on the continent comprised of 70+ Murray Grey pairs grown on high elevation grass without creep. We raise our own replacement heifers and bulls as well as finish our Murray Grey steers out for our grass finished beef program.

We believe transparency and honesty in seed stock builds a better breed. We collect accurate data and represent our animals with transparent information, without sales tactics and without exceptions. Late breeders and under performers are culls. In 2024 we saw one of the highest breed up rates in our history with 84% breeding on the first cycle and 96% bred within 45 days, with only a 4% cull rate.

We offer Murray Grey breeding stock registered with the American Murray Grey Association, Murray Grey genetics, and certified Murray Grey grass-finished beef raised regeneratively and without excessive inputs.

With five family generations of ranchers, and almost a decade of Murray Grey experience, we would like to share with you what we consider to be the best beef breed in the world.
