Don’t let his quiet demeanor fool you, he’s the one you want to have your back if things get ugly. He can take a punch, close a deal, and continues to be competitive in areas such as the triple jump, arm wrestling, and powerlifting. A fourth-generation citizen of “Butte, America”, his roots run deep and colorful. Be sure to ask him about inspiring Evel Knievel, the “Butte Assassin”, and playing baseball at Gonzaga University.
When not representing Hall and Hall, you’ll find Randy expressing his passion for the outdoors and agriculture with his family. He’s at home in the backcountry, on a river, riding a horse, or volunteering for hospice. That’s “Montana” level “range” and the lessons learned from Butte are his anchors.
Takeaway: Randy’s attention to detail, discipline, and competitiveness is just what you need to take on Montana and Wyoming.

The 8,200± acre Rosebud South Ranch lies immediately east of State Highway 314, approximately 45 miles north of Sheridan, Wyoming. It consists of a series of coulees and small valleys that rise from the Rosebud Creek valley to the high divide that separates the Rosebud Creek valley from the Tongue River valley. This is reputation grass country watered by natural springs that puts big gains on calves and yearlings. The natural geography of this country with its brushy draws and lightly timbered hillsides also offers great cover for wildlife, and the ranch has good populations of mule deer and growing populations of elk – not to mention good upland bird habitat. Dryland hay can be cut on approximately 68 acres of meadows, but this is primarily an unimproved grass ranch with no structural improvements – truly an uncut diamond.
There are approximately 68.5 acres that have been cut for dryland hay at one time or another and are assessed by the county as wild hay. The balance of the ranch is exceptional native rangeland.
CONSERVATION EASEMENT
There are no conservation easements on the Rosebud South Ranch. SPECIAL NOTEThe 402± acre private lease is offered for sale separately for $325,000. Contact listing broker for details regarding price and terms.
Rosebud South has been operated in conjunction with another ranch. As a stand-alone unit, it is best suited for seasonal grazing. Based upon an estimated carrying capacity of two acres per AUM (Animal Unit Month), the ranch should carry 500 cows for a seven-month grazing season. Since the entire capacity is based upon native rangeland, it is fair to say that it will vary from year to year depending on precipitation.
The property is fenced into six pastures, so it does lend itself to some level of rotational grazing depending upon the level of water availability.
What started as a random phone call from a website listing, ended with a “dream come true” ranch and a lasting friendship.
