Meet the Team Monday

Bryan Ulring

General Manager and Head Honcho at the J Bar L Ranches

Where are you from?  Born in Minnesota and raised in South Dakota.

Favorite season?  I like the changes and could never pick just one favorite season...ok maybe fall, if I have to pick just one. It's nice and cool, clear skies, but still warm. Spring is awesome too. I love the green grass and the regeneration of new life. Of course, in the summer there's grasshopper fishing... and there's skiing in the winter. Oh, the options are just overwhelming.

Favorite place?  Geographically speaking, it's Montana. More specific? It's hard to beat the Centennial Valley. Mentally I prefer outer space. That's where I spend most of my time.

Tea or Coffee?  What's with making all these tough decisions? I like both.

My best hidden talent?  This is a hard one. I brag about almost everything so it's hard to think of a hidden talent. I guess most people might not guess that in my day, I was a pretty fair skier of both the liquid and frozen variety.

The best thing I ever ate...  Duh, grassfed beef! I actually like fresh seafood just as much as grassfed beef, but it's just a little harder to come by in the Centennial Valley.

On the weekends I...  Enjoy time with the family. Now that Charlie is a little older I am very excited to take him fishing, camping, hunting, and skiing.

The best thing about the J Bar L is...  Hands down, the J-L team is the best thing about the ranch. Well, the team and Grandma Birdie's granola bars!
