Healthy Stock Starts With Good Shelter
Montana animals are tough, but wind, wet, and cold still cost you — in feed conversion, in vet bills, and in hard winters, in animals. A well-built, well-sited shelter pays for itself by keeping stock dry, out of the wind, and off the worst ground.
We build custom livestock shelters throughout Paradise Valley — Emigrant, Livingston, Gardiner — and the surrounding areas.
Wood or Metal, Built for Your Operation
Wood shelters blend into the landscape and moderate temperature swings naturally — warmer in the wind, cooler in the sun. Much of our timber comes from our own sawmilling operation.
Metal shelters maximize durability for bigger operations: pest-proof, rot-proof, and essentially maintenance-free.
Either way, the build is engineered for Montana:
- Snow-load rated roofs and wind-braced frames
- Smart siting — backs to the prevailing wind, openings positioned for sun and access
- Spacious, ventilated layouts that keep air moving and animals comfortable
- Safety details — kick walls, smooth interior faces, no protruding hardware
- Predator-aware design where sheep, goats, or foaling mares need it
