RANGE Land and Cattle Co.
Montana
Tier 3 · Wagyu-Forward What the tiers mean
This listing's current published materials advertise Wagyu, but the offering does not meet our full verification standard for provenance. It carries no authenticity badge; undisclosed details remain explicitly unverified.
Authenticity flags
- The brand describes crossing full-blood Wagyu bulls with Angus and Jersey cows but does not say how much Wagyu ends up in the beef it sells, and it also refers to several generations of breeding, so the herd is not one uniform cross. Its only grading claim is USDA Prime, which measures marbling rather than breed. If the percentage matters to you, ask before ordering.
Why it's listed
RANGE Land and Cattle Co. is a Montana beef brand founded in 2021 by ranching families whose cattle it places from the Flathead Valley to the Highline. It crosses registered full-blood Wagyu bulls with Angus and Jersey cows and grades its beef USDA Prime. At least one Whitefish restaurant names it directly on its menu. The brand does not publish how many generations its cattle are removed from full-blood Wagyu.
A Montana brand, not a single ranch
RANGE Land and Cattle Co. was started in 2021 by Montana ranching families and places its cattle across a wide stretch of the state, from the Flathead Valley in the northwest out to the Highline along the northern border. It is a brand pulling from several operations rather than one address, which is why this listing carries the state and not a ranch gate.
A Whitefish kitchen names the brand directly on its card, and the valley the brand cites is that kitchen's own, so the beef is travelling a short distance to the plate.
Full-blood bulls, but a mixed cow herd
The brand describes crossing registered full-blood Wagyu bulls with Angus and Jersey cows. That is a real description of a breeding program, and it is more than many brands publish, but it stops short of saying how much Wagyu ends up in the beef that is sold.
Two things make the answer genuinely unclear rather than merely unstated. The cow herd is not uniform, since Angus and Jersey are different animals producing different crosses, and the brand separately refers to several generations of breeding, which points past a simple half-and-half first cross. Its only grading claim is USDA Prime, which measures marbling rather than breed.
None of that is a mark against the beef. It means the honest description is a Wagyu cross of unstated proportion, and that a menu naming this brand is telling you the source rather than the percentage.
