Welcome to our ranch
Thank you for visiting our site! Little Bitterroot Ranch is a 4th-generation family-owned cattle operation located in the foothills of the Little Bitterroot Valley. The ranch is operated by Frank and Marilynn Carr, with their son Shannon being the fourth generation. The region is semiarid (9 inches annually). Cattle range on dry land pastures until midsummer when they are put on irrigated pastures. We run around 90 mother cows.
We will be selling the bulls at auction this year on February 6th, 2024 at Montana Livestock Auction, Ramsey, Montana. Sale starts at 1:00 pm. We will be selling 28 Homo Black Purebred Simmental & Sim/Angus bulls, and 1 Red. All 29 are Homo polled. We also have six heifer calves we are selling private treaty here at home. They are listed under the bulls as Private Treaty Heifer.
