Nestled between the Crazy and Bridger Mountains in the picturesque Shields Valley, the 4 Diamond Ranch was founded in 2014 by a family new to ranching. From the beginning their goal for the ranch was not only to be a financially viable ag operation but do so while being good stewards of the land and a valued member of the local community.
To achieve this the owners brought in Jim Willis and his family to manage the ranch. Jim has had a lifelong career in agriculture, from growing up on his family’s dairy farm to working on and managing an array of diverse agricultural operations. The Willis’ were drawn to this position not only by the stunning beauty and wonderful people of the Shield Valley but by the chance to try a different way of ranching.
