Regenerative by Nature 

Ring of Horns is founded and operated by first-generation ranchers Jared and Terye Gaustad. A mother-and-son team who chose to leave the conventional path behind in pursuit of something purposeful. 

Beneath Montana’s big sky, our regenerative bison ranch exists to reconnect people with where their food comes from. By working alongside nature instead of against it, our aim is to restore grasslands and raise bison as they were meant to live, and creating food that reflects the health of the ecosystem it came from.

Our mission is simple: produce nutrient dense grass-fed and finished bison, create quality bison products, and leave the land better than we found it. Every decision we make is guided by improving both the health of our customers and the ecological wealth of the land we call home.

Our Name Origin

   Bison mothers are fiercely protective. When calves are threatened, the cows communicate with one another and gather the young into the center of the herd. The females then form what is known as a Ring of Horns. A circle facing outward, horns toward the danger, standing together in defense of the next generation.

  That powerful display of protection, community, and resilience inspired our name and represents the values we strive to live every day.
