The Double J Ranch - Day-to-Day Operations

The Double J Ranch is comprised of over 6,000 acres nestled in the Green River Valley, home to 250 pairs of Angus mother cows, 10 registered Wagyu bulls, 17 ranch horses, chickens, pigs and ranch dogs, along with 200 yearlings during the summer. 

The Double J Ranch takes pride in our progressive management techniques, that strive to provide the most sustainable cattle management for our environment. We practice sustainability in our cattle genetics and range land ecology. 

We believe that with proper management and partnerships with government agencies, such as the Natural Resource Conservation Services, we can, not only improve range land ecology but wildlife migration and cattle stewardship.
