About Wickens Ranch
Regenerative Montana Ranch.
We're a 4th Generation, Family-owned Montana Cattle Ranch.
Just outside of Winifred, MT, Wickens Ranch is a regenerative operation with an abundance of healthy grassland, ideal for raising cattle and producing delicious beef that's sought after by top Montana chefs and home cooks. But for us, it's about more than really good beef. Click the image to the right to read our magazine!

Delicious Beef.
Wickens Ranch cattle are raised on the range for 2-3 years, nourishing themselves on grass. When our animals are ready, we finish them for about 3 months on a unique ration that includes a conservative amount of local barley, peas, and lentils. This diet - combined with slow production, low-stress handling, and 14-day dry aging - produces the flavorful, tender, and well-marbled beef that you (and we) love to eat.
Regenerative Ranching.
Our ranching philosophy is centered on supporting natural processes - that's why we graze cattle according to Allan Savory's holistic management principles.
For more than a decade, we've been working hard to strengthen the health of the grasslands we steward to nourish our cattle, protect the longevity of our ranch and build a more resilient rural community.
Keeping it Local.
Humus and humanus — Latin for fertile ground and human — share their root word. Even in Hebrew, the name Adam translates to the man who was made from the ground. We believe the relationship between humans and the earth is ancient and vital — and that's why we're committed to strengthening that connection, right here in the great state of Montana. We're focused on local delivery and do not ship our beef out of state.
