Meet the Ranch Managers

Montana Canterbury

I was born in Salida, Colorado. I was raised on Trail's End Ranch in Hillside, Colorado where my Dad has worked on and managed for 23 years. I was home schooled for the bulk of my education, which gave me ample opportunity to work with and learn from my Dad. During high school, I had the opportunity to work as the ranch manager for Bob and Carol Allison on the L Diamond A Ranch, also in Hillside. Bob and Carol were just starting a Grass Fed Beef program when I was employed there. After graduating high school in May of 2004, I was accepted by College of the Ozarks in Point Lookout, MO. I worked on the College’s Beef Farm for six semesters and two semesters in the technology department. In June of 2006 my wife Sara and I were married here in Hillside on Trail’s End Ranch. I graduated from College of the Ozarks May 11, 2008 achieving my B.S. in Agriculture with an emphasis in Animal Science and Agricultural Technology. I graduated as a member in good standing of Delta Tau Alpha the National Agricultural Honor Society.

Co-Management of the Ranch

Although each ranch manager has unique responsibilities on the ranch, together they are in charge of overall ranch operations including facilities, livestock, agricultural enterprises, recreational activities, employee oversight and budgets. Both live on the ranch to ensure access and active management.
