Katie is a firstgeneration rancher based in Winnett, Montana. Like many ranchers, she manages private leases for summer grazing and her own deeded land for winter. Alongside a neighboring rancher, Katie has started a directtoconsumer beef business, which allows people to enjoy highquality beef while knowing it’s raised ethically and with a commitment to conservation. Katie also talks about the challenges she faces, including the growing trend of land being bought for recreational use rather than farming and ranching. Supporting local ranchers and agriculture is more important than ever, and Katie's story highlights why.
