Owned by Nicole Wines, Big Sky Meats offers a large variety of local ranch-raised beef, pork, lamb, and Buffalo. Nicole was born and raised in north central North Dakota on a farm/ranch. After receiving her bachelor’s degree in Veterinary Medicine at North Dakota State University, she moved to Montana. Nicole now lives in Pray, MT with her husband, Wally. Their daughter, Morgan, and son, Connor, have helped in Nicole's livestock business for many years, starting from ages 3 and 4 learning to count calves, to now shipping them. They both continue down the path of agriculture, buying and training horses. Nicole may reside in Pray, but she spends most of her time in central Montana where she first started her cattle brokering business in 1998. A few years back, Nicole sold cattle to someone with a processing plant in Alaska. When he decided to sell his plant recently, Nicole saw this as a perfect opportunity to buy his plant and start her own business outside of Lewistown. She is excited to offer high-quality meats in a retail store to customers featuring high quality, Montana ranch raised meats. She also runs the separate sister company Big Sky Processing, providing custom processing for local Ranchers' needs.
