Built by Generations
In 1953, Western Ranch Supply was an established steel building distributor and in 1954, Tom Warsinski and Ray Frank became partners, got Western Ranch Supply incorporated, and saw the potential in the farm and ranch market. With only the Downtown Billings location at the time, they started merchandising for the farmers and ranchers of Montana. In 1959 the switch was final when an Animal Health department was installed, and their most profitable department became the manufacture and sale of horse trailers. 1962 was the year WRS expanded beyond Billings and into Great Falls. And then in 1965 Ray became the sole owner of Western Ranch Supply.
Keith, Rob, and Shayne
In 1998, Western Ranch Supply was purchased by Keith Robinson, Shayne Vandivort, and Rob Erickson. Each with their own expertise in the business. Together they have upgraded the WRS in Great Falls with a new building at a different location and even added a new location in Billings, which quickly became the hub of the whole operation. In 2013, the West End Billings location was built. A beautiful 30,000 sq. ft. building with 3-acre equipment lot.
Continually Evolving
With the new location, Western Ranch Supply has expanded into a True Value hardware store along with clothing, shoes, accessories, and home décor. We are your one-stop shop for farm, ranch, tack, equipment, hardware, and clothing. With a parking lot designed to accommodate large trucks, SUVs, and trailers, we aim to be your first stop with an always clean building, plenty to look at, everything you need, and some snacks for if you have to hit the road again.
