Montana-Raised Beef Now Being Served at the Ranch

What we put on kids’ plates plays a fundamental role in their overall wellness.

That’s why kids at the Ranch are now enjoying Montana-raised, grass-fed beef through our Homes for Heifers program. This effort is made possible by generous livestock donors and our partners at The Producer Partnership, who are processing the meat for us at no charge.

About The Producer Partnership

The Producer Partnership is the nation’s first and only USDA nonprofit-owned and operated meat processing facility, based in Livingston, that processes donated livestock into top-quality protein at no cost for nonprofits, schools, and food banks across the state.

Through this partnership, donated livestock is processed, packaged, and delivered directly to the Ranch—helping ensure kids in our care have access to nutritious, high-quality meals sourced right here in Montana.

How to Donate

Interested in donating? You don’t need to be a rancher to take part. Livestock donations can be raised personally or purchased at a local fair or livestock auction.

Here’s how to give:

Step 1: Contact The Producer Partnership

Reach out to Jeri Delys at The Producer Partnership at jeri@producerpartnership.com to submit a livestock donation (beef, pork, or lamb)—raised on your own or purchased at your local fair or livestock auction.

Step 2: Designate the Recipient

Designate Yellowstone Boys and Girls Ranch as the recipient.

Step 3: Processing & Delivery

The Producer Partnership team coordinates pickup, processing, and packaging.

Thank you to The Producer Partnership for helping turn Montana generosity into meals served right here at the Ranch—and to everyone who supports this effort.
