COLUMBUS, MT – September 30, 2026 – PRESSADVANTAGE –

Beartooth Fencing LLC, a licensed and insured fencing and ranch construction contractor based in Columbus, Montana, is formally expanding its livestock shelter building services to help ranchers protect their animals from severe regional weather. The expanded offering focuses on the construction of run-in sheds and loafing shelters designed to shield livestock from Montana wind, snow, and sun across working ranches and pastures.

The move addresses a persistent challenge for ranchers operating in a climate marked by high winds, deep snow, and intense summer sun. Run-in sheds and loafing shelters give animals a reliable place to escape harsh weather, supporting animal welfare while helping ranch operations run more efficiently through changing seasons.

Beartooth Fencing Livestock Shelter Construction

Beartooth Fencing Livestock Shelter Construction is engineered for real Montana conditions, including frost heave, rocky ground, and daily livestock pressure. Each structure is built to withstand the same demanding environment that shapes the rest of the company’s fencing and ranch work throughout the Beartooth Region.

“Livestock in this part of Montana face weather that can turn quickly and stay severe for months,” said Brandon Garoutte of Beartooth Fencing. “The shelters are built to hold up against wind, snow, and sun year after year, giving animals a dependable place to get out of the elements. That reliability matters to ranchers who depend on their herds.”

The shelter services are offered alongside the company’s broader ranch building capabilities. These include pole barn construction for storage, shops, and equipment, as well as general construction services for ranch and property projects of all kinds. This range allows ranchers to address multiple structural needs through a single licensed contractor familiar with local conditions.

Garoutte noted that the expansion reflects ongoing demand from ranchers seeking durable structures suited to the terrain. “Rocky ground and frost heave make shelter construction more complicated than it looks,” he said. “The work is planned around those conditions from the start, so the structures stand up over time rather than shifting or failing after a few hard seasons.”

All shelter and construction work is backed by free on-site estimates and licensed, insured service from start to finish. The on-site estimate process allows the company to assess ground conditions, drainage, and herd needs before construction begins, which supports structures suited to each property.

Beartooth Fencing serves Columbus and the surrounding Beartooth Region with a full range of fencing and construction services. In addition to livestock shelters and pole barns, the company builds barbed wire fence, post and rail fence, jack leg fence, corrals, equine fence, and game fence. It also provides custom archways, custom gates with automation, equestrian facility design, and general contracting for ranch and property projects.

Beartooth Fencing LLC is a licensed and insured fencing contractor specializing in fences and ranch structures built to withstand harsh Montana conditions. The company focuses on durable construction methods suited to regional terrain and weather, serving ranchers and property owners throughout Columbus and the Beartooth Region.
