Greg Putnam spent 9 years on active duty as Navy SEAL stationed out of Hawaii before making the decision to return to the Rocky Mountains with his family. After his time in the service, he dabbled in the private sector as the business manager of Ascent Vision before changing course and setting in motion something he’d been toying with for years - owning and operating a cattle ranch in Montana.
In 2020, amidst the global pandemic, Putnam partnered with a fellow veteran and friend, Tim Sheehy, to make this vision a reality. Connecting three different properties nestled at the foot of the Little Belt Mountains in central Montana, they founded Little Belt Cattle Company together. With the help and mentorship of some seasoned Montana cattle ranchers, they made it through the winter and just finished their first calving season.
Veteran-owned and run by the two families, LBCC sits on about 9,000 acres. The two families are set on making the operation as sustainable as possible, implementing regenerative agriculture practices whenever possible, including soil and grass restoration, a 12-month grazing plan that prioritizes the health of the pastures, and a calving schedule that aligns closely with nature. Working dogs and horses are used to move the cattle as often as possible in place of 4-wheelers, reducing the overall amount of stress on the cattle, which leads to higher quality meat.

I'm starting to think a lot of you veterans are chocolate soldiers. Look at these politicians that you could kill and save our country. Would do more good than killing Sandpeople in iraq or Afghanistan. What are you waiting for?!!!
Mike. Is little belt cattle taking anyone on. I’ll work for free. I ride, I know cattle, I know how to cut…
The kind of life I like.
Im a vet, and started a small ranch op, two heifers and horse. Best feeling in the world!
As a fellow service member, thank you for your service! As a Veterinarian for large animals I would like to reach out to you and offer any assistance for questions that you may have on cattle or horses. This is not a solicitation for business. Just a helping hand from one vet to another!
For someone who suffers from PTSD, cattle ranches are the most therapeutic thing I have ever experienced in my life. Long days but so dam worth it. Hats off boys, thank you and good luck in your future endeavors.
- PS let me come work for you for free, just feed me and throw me a tent hahah.
And a beer, dont forget the beer.
Brother, you should try some psychedellics. May potentially help with your PTSD.
@@mcj4117117 Mushroom treament will become legal in my state soon. IM Looking forward to it. Cheers lol
@@tier1223 It's definitely gonna be amazing.. :) Let me know how it is if you don't forget :D
Agreed and same
Grew up ranching. Then I became a fireman, 30 years in a land mgmt agency and a volunteer fire department loved the jobs but I miss ranching the most..... firefighting was awesome and rewarding. But something about ranching was amazing.
Patriot, Cowboy, Rancher ……. All American. Amen brother
Frankly, this is one of the best short films I have ever seen. Something, hit me real deep. Whether it is my reverence for war veterans, obsession with special operations or my profound appreciation for all things agriculture, my senses were on fire whilst watching this. God damn, it was just bloody brilliant! The film, narration, cinematography and lessons learned were absolutely salt of the earth. Such an authentic story. I wish Little Belt Cattle Co. all the very best in the future. No doubt, they will surpass the expectations of those voices who told them they couldn't do it. Well done lads - Hit the line hard!
Part time beef cattle farmer here , full time engineer. GREAT video. Thank you all for your service to the USA!
"Where's the food system in America gonna go?" Hats off to you Greg! For all you are and all that you do.
I was born and raised in Montana and not far from you guys in Lewistown. I worked on farms/ranches all through my childhood and teens up to the day went off to boot camp. Spent 10 years in the corps and was at the same cross road. After being wounded in combat during my 9th year and not wanting to put my family through it again i went to civilian life. Even with all my hardships in the military I can honestly say farming/ranching is still the most physically and psychologically draining job I ever had and I loved every minute of it. You feel like you actually accomplished something everyday. To this day I truly wish I could afford to start my own. I'd even jump on as a hand with a place that understands by disabilities but I'd really love to own my own land etc. I truly applaud you gentlemen and envy you as well.
An excellent option for Navy seals to Find PURPOSE (not be lost at sea, spin their wheels) on leaving The service. Awesome new challenge that gives Hope. Defeats ptsd and is therapeutic at the same time. Must be magnificent with those views AROUND you !!!
we need more Montana residents like this!
I have mad respect for those that have served in our Armed Forces. Thank You so very much! I appreciate the life that you have protected for those of us that have never served. I come from a military family and one of my regrets in life is not serving, for at least four years. My father (22 year Navy vet) talked me out of service, due to his experience with the marriage between politics and miltary, so I went the college route. Now, I am sick and tired of the corporate life and long to be in nature, considering heavily a career change.
I'm going to have to buy some of their beef. Love supporting veteran owned Montana businesses. GL with your class
This makes me proud to be American, thanks for your military service and for service to sustainable agriculture.
It's easy to fall in love with working cattle. My dad had friends that were ranchers and I grew up helping work cows. I really miss it!
The closing is the best tagline I’ve heard in my 46 years.
We all need to be more “Free Range”
This has got to be one of the best stories you have told on this channel. Keep up the good work!
What an amazing life to live! Im 40 and looking to start doing something I love instead of just surviving. Stories like this inspire me when my brain is telling me I’m too old to do what I love!
From our ranch in the middle of nowhere Oregon to yours, job well done. Long live Ranchers❤
This video is so good brother Mike, can we please get longer videos like these please. HOOAH 🤘🏽🇺🇸
I love this so much, enjoy the fact that so many ex military veterans are succeeding in doing what they love, that’s AMERICA 🇺🇸
Keep in mind for the vets who come home and make a good go of civilian life, far more have not. As another said, our government is seeking to make it where we the people cannot thrive on our own, they want to force us on the tit of the Government socialist suckle factory.
I think spotlighting veteran owned business and doing interviews like this would be an amazing series of videos! Get their name out there and show guys putting boots to ground again!
Damn this is awesome! In a time when our food production is in question, I'm stoked to see veterans take a crucial role! 🙏
This is so inspirational and honestly a dream of mine! I grew up working cattle with my Grandpa in SD and is the core of my work ethic. Once I finish my enlistment this is the plan, love seeing this! Very cool and thank you for sharing 🇺🇸
Literally kicking around the idea of leaving my corporate job to get into ranching. He hit the nail on the head when he said it’s difficult to sit at a desk all day if you’re coming out the military.
I agree. The debt they must have is insane to me.
I really don’t understand how first generation farmers and ranchers can get started.
@@AcreOfOrganic They can't. That's the problem. This country is over-populated, and development companies are running farmers and ranchers off their land that they've been on for centuries. My S/O will see her farm be sold in her lifetime, more than likely. It's extremely depressing, but it starts because States took away laws preventing the break down of land. So you get these "wannabe" farmers buying five acres of land and calling it a farm, which causes a lot of problems when people start seeing abused, malnourish animals roaming around.
Not everyone is qualified to be a farmer, and it's not a glamorous life. It's not something you can start out in debt.
Holy Crap!!
16yrs Army SF, 18D/18Z now in NE California with my family on our small ranch (3P Cattle Co.) working the same mission in a valley full of old established ranches.
Fortunately most of those folks have been very helpful or I'd be lost in the sauce, most days I'm like a football bat out here trying to figure it all out!
I too have a gelding that has to be doubled every once in a while....
Greg and Tim, Charlie Mike and maybe we will run into one another someplace!
I applaud his service, his dedication to his ‘newer’ vocation..especially since “cowboys/cowboying” has LONG since been a dying breed. It was once amdream of mine actually here in Texas. Short of starting YOUR OWN ranch..it’s a virtual no-go as exhibited by ranchers presently HAVING to sell-off their own cattle herd. The .gov is making it so the American citizen CANNOT succeed in any endeavor..
We've allowed them to overstep the boundaries. I am as guilty as anyone of not keeping watch
@@SwiftyMcVeigh851 this part is 100% accurate and completely overlooked. We have absolutely allowed and, I'd say invited them, to overstep
"The .gov is making it so the American citizen CANNOT succeed in any endeavor"
By doing what?
It’s not and never has been a dying breed. Changing? Yes. Adapting? Yes. Never dying. I’m 6th generation working cowboy.
@@rudiratte1 regulating business to death
I'm an Army Infantry Veteran and I love Ranches. I plan on buying one hopefully in January. Thank you for this video! Love what y'all do! I'm in Central Texas, myself. 🤘🏼🤠
Seems like you either have to already be damn near rich to start a ranch or be lucky enough to be born into a family that owns one. These guys are living the dream though, what a life.
That's pretty much what needs to happen for *any* major venture; thanks, capitalism!
@@3nertia again...not capitalism that's the problem here. Super lazy for you guys to keep throwing that out there with no thought or research on the subject. There's a TON more issues in play, and can't be attributed to just one thing.
@@connorbaz5980 Ironic ...
"Super lazy for you ... to keep throwing that out there with no thought or research" - If only you'd done the research and put it in the thought to see that it *does* all boil down to *one* thing, capitalism. We let the worst of us control everything. How long have the privileged and educated ruled over the poor and uneducated? Millennia! Time to wake up, Dunning-Kruger children ...

Exactly, I’d be a cattle rancher tomorrow if it just took an entrepreneurial spirit, clearly the guy flying the plane somehow had a pile of cash.
@glock32 I was just stating the reality of the matter. No need to be cunty about it.
19 Kilo, 2007-2013. Tried to join the Color Guard at Fort Riley but I wasn't quite tall enough. Loved watching those U.S Branded horses out in the pasture.
Always positivity vibes around us for those ones that are being miss and loved ones in our hearts and those ones we lost down the road are forever being remembered on a float memories and are memories for them is a legend
Great stuff Mike. My family ran ranches in northern az for 2 generations and the drought got them in the 1950’s and I became a welder forever but I still crave the cowboy lifestyle A great friend of mine taught me that a cowboy was a lifestyle where you had to know a little about everything not just cattle. We ran almost 27 miles of pipeline on his ranch over the years when I was younger. Lots of respect for the cowboys of today. Thanks Mike I love all of your content From northern az
"Free range American", love that!
Thank you, VietNam vet and Texas A&M ‘67 and ‘73.
Phenomenal video Mike. Love seeing this as a veteran going from 14 years active to national guard and civilian manager in an office. I only made it just over a year in that office before I started losing it and looking for something else. These videos are great for showing guys like me what's out there
Great spotlight. Mike you should check out Bear Hug Cattle Company started by Ben Minden veteran of 3rd Ranger Battalion. He is doing some really cool stuff to get guys coming out of the military involved in the cowboying/ranching world. He has a website but can’t link it or it will delete my post. Cowboy Up boys 👊🏼.
I wish these guys good luck with their ranch!
Greetings from Berlin, Germany.
Knowing the ranching and farm community, and a multi generational Wyoming woman...what you two and your families are doing is impressive. Best Wishes.
This is an amazing video. Please do more like this.
Best to you guys! Improvise, adapt and overcome! You have what it takes to succeed!
This was a phenomenal video. Thank you
I love this so much thank you for your service! From rural Colorado we support you!
That is awesome. Hopefully there will be more ways like this that could provide an outlet for those battling PTSD. Also, thank you to all who serve. We would not be where we are today without our service men and women.
Hats off to all you veterans! Thank you for your services. Excellent video on beautiful Montana veteran cowboy entrepreneurs. Blessings!
Impressive and inspirational. Veterans finding a new vocation .... sorely needed. Well done guys!
Yeah buddy! Way to go Mr. This format is very professional and shows the mans character even more thru it.
I love this. Dedicated awesomeness to doing better.
YES, bringing America back!!
Hats off to all veterans for their service!!
Im impressed with the quality of this video production, congratulations to everyone involved 👏!
Loving this type of storytelling content Mike!
He's living my dream. Good for you sir and thank you for your service.
What an amazing video, im a veteran as well and always wanted to get involved with that way of life somehow. What an inspiration
This is awesome I grew up in those same mountains
Awesome video. Having grown up on a cattle farm and moved away I look forward to the day I can return to that lifestyle.
Love this company and their merch. Little Belt Cattle Company has my support.
wonderful video and story told!
Whoever did the filming and editing of this video, awesome job!
I really liked this video. Great group of guys, and great Little Belt Cattle Co!!!!!
Love this story! Wish you guys all the best! Cowboying is a dying art.
A great video today. All the best with their endeavors. 👍🙂🇺🇸
Wow. This was a great video and it is inspiring.
His comments about hitting the 10 year point in your career and having to make the decision to ride it out until retirement or find something else to do. Plus his comments about the experiences you have from the military that don't necessarily make it the easiest to work in a lot of civilian jobs resonated with me. I'm at my 11 year point in my career in EMS/LE and I'm trying to get out. However, finding a new career that is the right fit for someone like me and gives me the same fulfillment has been tough. I'm glad they found theirs.
Having just retired after a very fulfilling, adventurous 30-year LE career, know that if you stay til the end, you will just be used up and broken down physically and possibly emotionally. With our limited skill base, the other career paths are few, but you can make it with the drive these two men have. Find your passion and go after it!
Retired from the Air Force last year.
I teach high school now. It’s great; mentoring young folks is a unique opportunity.
Really appreciate this content 💯🇺🇲
Very cool. Welcome back to Montana
What a great story! Great job you patriots, we are so proud of you!
Really enjoyed.
Awesome video!
Love this! I started ranching recently too. Definitely the 11 years in the Navy, helped with task driven days. There is no 9-5 on the ranch.
This was a great podcast
This was so inspiring.. and the production values were impressive!
Love it fellas👍🏻
Excellent video, just excellent
this is awesome to see. tHANKS Guys
the quality on this one is amazing
Great video. I would love for my boy to work for a place like this. A place that shows the joy of an honest day work.
A dream come true good work
Great video
Very well done segment!
Thanks
I salute you and can appreciate what you are doing. Keep up the great work. You are an icon to other veterans 😁👍
Your channel is awesome. Keep up the work. 😁👍
I've done this kind of work for years and I'm also a veteran having a surgery in August then after healing up ready to get back to that life style
So retired SEAL, cowboy, cattle rancher, wife and kids, lives in Montana, warrior height, and has an epic stache = rock star! 😁
Hope these guys do great.
One word. Motivating.
God bless these MEN and their ranch. This would be my youngest daughter’s dream.
Wao excelente cinematography & editing. Almost a full Yellowstone episode.
Good cowboys start with great mustaches!
That was awesome.
Great story!!!
That is what it’s all about. Well done!
Great video ! 👍
We've got to get more people involved in farming. I've noticed just up in North Idaho, how fast the farms are disappearing to crap developers who are paying farmers BIG money. This has to stop! We need our farmers and ranchers!
What an awesome video! It’s been a long time dream of mine to work with cattle and provide the product for people! Too bad there’s not many ranches in Chicago
Great content Mike, cattle are interesting to all of us who live in middle America, especially here in middle TN. Great show very interesting
I like the blue roan all the best to your venture .
Love It!
Great audio for how windy it was. 10/10
When he said “wear a cowboy hat in the bar” I cracked up cause my nco’s would always tell us we’re just there to wear our marine stuff at the bar 😂 wouldn’t have the first idea how to run a ranch or farm but but it’s always been on my mind since I’ve been back. Something just drawn me to that grit. Everyone I know on a farm says it’s to hard you don’t wanna do it but they all still never sell there cattle…
Love what their doing...
Awesome story!!!!
