GREEN MOUNTAIN ANGUS RANCH
Green Mountain Angus Ranch, located near Ryegate, Montana was born of humble beginnings in the early 70’s when Gale Todd purchased his first cows. In 1973, the ranch held its first production Bull Sale, which still takes place every year. The original ranch was nestled at the base of Green Mountain in South Dakota and expanded to Montana in 1981. In 1991, Tim Todd and his wife Kris took over the operation of the ranch and have grown it to around 1,100 head with locations in Ryegate, Musselshell, and the Grass Range area.
Tim and Kris knew YBGR Director of Ranch Operations, Gary Adams, from the cattle business. “We got along well with Gary, and he has an infectious passion for the work done at YBGR, and we knew we needed to give back and support the Ranch,” said Tim. “Gary’s glass is always half full, and you can’t help but want to be a part of the good work happening at YBGR.”

In 2013, the Todd’s and Green Mountain Angus Ranch started donating the proceeds of the sale of one of their bulls to YBGR. They have also been Homes for Heifers donors over the years, running YBGR calves with their own until they are ready to go to market. “Kris and I enjoy helping kids. We have done scholarships and things and donating to the Ranch is a great way to give kids a chance and help them out. Kids today need all the help that they can get in the crazy, messed-up world, so we are doing our part to try and give them a better chance,” explains Tim.
Thank you to the Todds, Green Mountain Angus Ranch, and all Homes for Heifers and Calf Roundup donors!
