During his eight-year stay in Minneapolis, he spent time as a floor broker at the Minneapolis Grain Exchange and served as president of CHS Inc.’s subsidiary, Country Hedging, Inc.

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 South Bighorn Ranch is in a class of its own. It has the grazing capability that is demanded of Montana ranches, but it has tremendous recreational attributes layered on top that ranch buyers yearn for. The ranch has been referred to as “Land of the Giants” with regard to its elk hunting. The ranch also offers mule deer, whitetail, turkey, and upland bird hunting. It is about an hour from Billings Logan International Airport. This ranch represents a classic buy-and-hold ranch with income generation via agricultural production and hunting, plus capital appreciation. One would have to look far and wide to find this complete package - the quality grazing, water, and forage production to balance the ranch, and hunting that will knock your eyes out!
