Hallie Myhre grew up raising sheep in Routt County, where a childhood 4-H project sparked a lifelong passion for livestock, agriculture, and local food. What began as selling lambs at the county fair while in elementary school eventually grew into Hallie Myhre’s Local Lamb, a small livestock operation focused on producing high-quality, locally raised lamb for families in the Yampa Valley and beyond.
After graduating from Steamboat Springs High School, Hallie attended Casper College and later the University of Wyoming, where she competed on nationally recognized livestock judging teams while earning degrees in Animal Science, Agricultural Business, and Farm & Ranch Management. Her background in both animal science and ranch business management continues to shape the way she raises livestock today, with a focus on animal health, land stewardship, and long-term sustainability.
Since expanding her direct-to-consumer lamb sales in 2018, Hallie has remained committed to regenerative and rotational grazing practices that improve soil health, strengthen forage quality, and support healthy pastures for future generations. Alongside her flock of sheep, she also rotationally grazes a small herd of registered Hereford cattle, using diversified grazing practices to benefit both the animals and the land.
Humane handling and transparency in the food system are central to Hallie’s operation. By raising the animals herself, she knows exactly what goes into every lamb she produces, and exactly what she is feeding her own family. Through Hallie Myhre’s Local Lamb, she hopes customers feel more connected to local agriculture, more confident in where their food comes from, and proud to support the next generation of ranchers in Northwest Colorado.
In 2026, Hallie’s goals are to continue improving pasture and soil health through regenerative grazing while expanding access to locally raised lamb for more consumers throughout the Yampa Valley. Having Hallie Myhre’s Local Lamb available through Yampa Valley Foods is an exciting part of that vision and an important step toward making high-quality local lamb more accessible to the community.
