Ranger Patrick Montgomery KC Cattle Company

At the KC Cattle Company, business is booming.

“Business has been a wild ride the last year,” says Former Ranger Patrick Montgomery, owner of KC Cattle Company.

When Farm Journal first met Patrick Montgomery last year, the three-year-old business was just picking up steam. Thanks to some new-found fame, KC Cattle Company has since taken off.

“We call it the ‘hotdog catastrophe’ that happened on August 1st last year,” he says. “We sent hotdogs to ‘Food and Wine Magazine’ on the East Coast, and they wrote this article claiming we had the best hot dog in the world. The article went viral. It kind of blew us up overnight.”
