Shawn Foy

Shawn Foy as CTO is responsible for ensuring that the company stays as a leader in ranch technology. From drones that monitor the bison location and heath, Land and soil conditions, fence lines and contain ability, equipment technology, to state of the art weather technology what ever it is if it can be modified to our application and it will give us an edge he finds it and implements its use.

Shawn is father extraordinaire to his son Myles Foy. This is to the ranch an essential as we all believe Family Is First. Shawn has been with the company from day one, a couple scribbles on a piece of paper. As a current manager at a national technology's company, Shawn has introduced ideas well before there time, helping us to stay on top of the technology. An asset no matter where he is.

Brady Foy

Brady has a totally operational skill set, his planning and execution skill are exceptional and runs his area like a swiss clock. Brady has a strong background in equipment operation and maintenance and as the equipment is key he makes it happen.

Logan Foy

Logan is our survivor, no matter what the situation no matter what the problem he figures it out and overcomes. Logan thrives on challenges never giving up just finding a solution. His background around equipment makes him an asset no matter where he is. If it has wheels tracks or moves period he can run it, maintain it or fix it. In our world the fixes are not always real pretty but if it gets through another day its done its job. Logan makes that happen.

Logan is father to Jaxton one of our up and coming ranchers. As with all our crew these two are inseparable and Logans every day revolves around Jaxton so again family's first
