Tyler and Kelli Gardner

Home Creek Cattle Company is where Tyler grew up on the family ranch in southeastern Montana near Broadus. Tyler manages all the daily operations. Growing up, he loved being around and working with livestock. He was very active in 4-H which led him to discover production agricultural, woodworking and being active in his community.

A true craftsman, Tyler attended furniture design school in the Smoky Mountains of North Carolina. He has owned and operated Ty’s Custom Furniture since January of 1999.

When Tyler and Kelli married in 2007, they went into partnership with his parents, Dave and Pat Gardner and formed Home Creek Cattle Company, LLC. They are a cow-calf operation raising Black Angus cattle.

In 2005 after seeing the financial impact of his mom going through five months of cancer treatment, Tyler and Kelli established a local cancer charity, Scramble 4 a Cure, which serves local families dealing with cancer-related expenses. The closest treatment is 80 miles away and most are traveling 150 miles. They send $1,500 to those fighting cancer, for a total of $30,000 to $35,000 per year.

“Our beef market is very volatile anymore and costs continue to rise. I love making great products whether it is furniture, winter wheat for hay, front end set of steer calves, or a tasty ribeye steak. I strive for perfection in every task. My grandma always said, ‘Any job worth doing is worth doing correctly.'“

You Can Never Rush a Great Steak.

Montana Premium Beef starts with world-class Black Angus genetics to create that perfect marbling that melts in your mouth with rich flavor.  Our Angus cattle are raised from birth to harvest in the serene pastures near the Powder River County, Montana.  They are grain finished a minimum of 150 days and dry-aged 14 days for an artisan masterpiece from our ranch to your table. Quality is very important to us.

In 2020, Tyler Gardner of Home Creek Cattle Company started providing artisan beef that would provide exceptional quality for those searching for ranch-to-table beef.  They provide what few ranchers do, a true artisan experience from calf to harvest that customers can count on.

Many ranchers will purchase calves without any knowledge of genetics or they purchase steers to grain feed finish for only 90 days.  Here at Montana Premium Beef, we start with world-class Black Angus genetics that assure flavorful marbling.  We keep our best calves, letting them range on the serene and bountiful Montana grass and then grain finish right here at home for a full 150 days.  It’s also important to us to keep our herd as stress-free as possible. 

Personally taking our beef through the entire feed cycle assures quality and we know exactly what we are providing our customers. That’s very important to us - and it should be important to you, too.

“It’s always my intent to provide you with flavorful, mouth-watering Angus beef and a peace of mind in knowing what you are serving your family!”
