HISTORY
The ranch was started by Jim Kouf in 1985 and founded on respect for the land and the love of a great steak. Along with his wife, Lynn, and the desire to teach their children where good food came from, they created a one-of-a-kind place that produces the highest quality meat that is both ethically and sustainably raised. Starting with just a few acres and growing into the operation that it is today. Run by their son, Dillon Kouf, Double K Ranch has expanded to include a Meat Shop on the ranch, and a Restaurant & Deli in Missoula.
Every cut of meat we serve is butchered and processed in our meat shop. Double K Ranch offers a variety of high-quality fresh meats. Including steaks, chops, burger and sausage, we are also excited to be one of the only meat shops in the state producing old-world Charcuterie including multiple Salamis, Bresaola, Pancetta, Coppa and more, all by hand.
Our Angus Beef and Berkshire Hogs are all-natural, pasture-raised, and grass fed without any added hormones or antibiotics. The hogs also eat a local non-GMO feed made in the Pacific Northwest. Both the beef and hogs are raised on our ranch from the beginning until the end, always in our care.
Our dream has always been to provide healthy and delicious food to our friends and family. So please come visit our Restaurant & Deli in Missoula, or join us for a ranch event, so you too can see where your meat comes from.

The Double K Ranch Meat Shop, located right on the ranch property, processes our all-natural, GMO-Free, Angus Beef and Heritage Pork to sell at our Deli located in Missoula, Montana. Pasture raised without any added antibiotics or hormones in the beautiful Bitterroot Mountains. We never sell factory farm boxed meat, ever. Everything you eat comes from our ranch and the Bitterroot Valley.
All of our beef is dry aged a minimum of 30 days, increasing tenderness and flavor. This process breaks down the muscles in the grass-fed beef, which is typically leaner than grain fed beef, and makes it more tender and delicious in every bite. With our variety of Salami, Smoked and cure meats, and more, you can now enjoy traditional charcuterie made in Montana. As well as a variety of fresh sausages, steaks, roasts and more, your bound to find anything and everything needed for your next meat and cheese board or outdoor barbeque.
Our goal is to provide fresh, handcrafted, locally sourced meats, handmade using old-world techniques. Our products are created with only the highest quality ingredients, from our fields to your plate, enjoy Montana's Finest Meats.

SUSTAINABILITY
At the Double K Ranch, we care about being stewards of the land and the environment around us. From solar panels to our own composting facility, our intention is to be as good to the planet as possible.
Read below for more information
Solar
The Double K Ranch currently has 111 solar panels on the property, with the intention of completely powering the operation with sustainable energy. The current panels are powering a large majority of the meat shop operation, which is most of the power used on the ranch.
Environmental Benefits
As of January 18th, 2025
370,377.7lbs of CO2 emissions saved
Equivalent to 2,799trees planted.
RECYCLING
Here at the Double K Ranch, we recycle everything we can including aluminum, tin, metal, cardboard and more. We do our best to reduce our usage of these materials and recycle them anytime we use them.
Sustainable
Ranching Efforts
Unlike more than 85% of the meat industry, which involves massive feedlots and slaughterhouses, animals in tight & confined spaces, and often times inhumane practices. Going through many hands and traveling thousands of miles to get to the nearest grocery store. Our Beef and Pork stay on the ranch, don't travel thousands of miles, and are always on pasture, never in tight & confined spaces. Happy and healthy animals is what you'll find at Double K Ranch.
ON-SITE PROCESSING FACILITY
Because the Double K Ranch has its own meat shop, including a slaughter facility and curing operation, it allows the ranch to cut its emissions by using less transportation. Typically animals are raised on one property, killed at another, and sold at yet another. Often times all in different states around the country. It takes a lot of gas and man hours to make that happen. Keeping our animals on one property, and selling in the local market, allows the ranch to always remain in control of the animals, cutting down on the emissions used to get meat to your refrigerator.
NO FEED LOTS
The Double K Ranch raises only the amount of beef it can feed from the land. Reducing emissions from shipping in hay as well as feed for the beef. All grass fed and finished, they have pasture year round. Because they aren't in small pens, knee deep in their own waste, the pastures are able to consume that waste without letting it build up and contaminate the surrounding area like often found with large feed lots.
GMO FREE - local FEED
The Double K Ranch feeds their hogs Idaho Made, all-natural GMO-Free feed. By purchasing feed made within the same region as opposed to feed shipped in by large factories from far away, we are able to reduce emissions in yet another way. Since it is GMO-Free and made without Corn and Soy, there are none of the negative effects from the mass production of those products.
WHAT DOES ALL OF THIS MEAN??
- Happy, stress-free animals
- Healthy land
- Reduced Emissions
- Supplying a local market with local meat
- Supporting and creating Montana jobs
- And most importantly, healthy food for your body!
