Bear Hug Cattle Company

Bear Hug Cattle Company is a 501(c)3 non-profit that provides veterans with the resources and training to be successful in the ranching industry by offering transitioning service members a 10-week intensive course in Bozeman Montana. As Veterans go through this 10-week program they spend 4 weeks doing fundamental horsemanship training, performing basic ranch tasks, and learning essential ranch economics. After that, they spend 5 weeks getting on the job training at some of the most historic operational ranches in the west. At the end of 10 weeks, program graduates will have the ability to be hired on to any ranch in the west. This program is free of cost to all veterans. We believe that the cowboy lifestyle and team environment will help excite soldier's integration into civilian life, and potentially save lives in the future through newfound passion and purpose.
