Seth and Amanda established Roving Ram Ranch in 2019, and although they were new to sheep, they both have many years of livestock and grazing experience that have led them to this place. Seth’s family raised cattle in Montana for most of his childhood, and as an adult, he continued to keep a small herd on his ranches in the Phillipsburg area and in Trego, MT. Amanda started her livestock career working on Wisconsin dairies and attending the Wisconsin School for Beginning Dairy Farmers, at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. She has degrees in Biology (B.A.), Agriculture (B.S.), and Agronomy (M.S.), with coursework for the latter degrees focused on rangeland ecology and management. She also raised Savannah and Boer meat goats for many years, using them for grazing projects in both Oklahoma and Nebraska. 
 

In 2024 the farm moved from the base of the Swan Mountain range in northwestern Montana to SE Texas so that Amanda could pursue her PhD (in Rangeland Ecology and Management) at Texas A&M University. The last two years have been focused on getting to know this new environment and learning about how to best manage sheep, goats, chickens, livestock guardian dogs, grazing and forage in this radically different (from Montana!) ecological setting. As we kick off 2026, we're excited to increase our offerings (lamb, eggs, breeding stock, LGD pups and grazing services!) here in Texas to more deeply connect with our local community and share the things we have been so fortunate to steward. We look forward to hearing from you and getting to know you!
