ADDITIONAL SERVICES OFFERED BY HALL AND HALL1. MANAGEMENT SERVICES – Hall and Hall’s Management Division has a very clear mission–to represent the owner and

to ensure that his or her experience is a positive one. Services are customized to suit the owner’s needs. They often

begin with the recruiting and hiring of a suitable ranch manager or caretaker and are followed by the development of

a management or operating plan along with appropriate budgets. Ongoing services include bill paying, ranch oversight,

and consulting services as needed. Even the most sophisticated and experienced ranch owners appreciate the value of a

management firm representing them and providing advice on local area practices and costs. Wes Oja, Jerome Chvilicek,

Dan Bergstrom or Brant Marsh at (406) 656-7500 are available to describe and discuss these services in detail and

welcome your call.

2. RESOURCE ENHANCEMENT SERVICES – Increasingly the value of a ranch is measured by the quality of each and every

one of its resources. Coincidentally, the enhancement of a ranch’s resources also increases the pleasure that one derives

from the ownership of a ranch. Our management services have included the assessment of everything from wildlife

habitat to bird habitat to water resources and fisheries and the subsequent oversight of the process involved with the

enhancement of these resources. Wes Oja, Jerome Chvilicek, Dan Bergstrom or Brant Marsh at (406) 656-7500 are

4. APPRAISALS - Staying abreast of ancillary market influences in ever-changing economic conditions requires a broad

professional network to tap into. Finding an appraiser who not only understands the numbers but also the differences in

value from one area to another is a critical part of making an informed decision. The appraisal team at Hall and Hall,

formed entirely of Accredited Members of the American Society of Farm Managers and Rural Appraisers (ASFMRA), has

that critical network of brokers and lending professionals. This professional network coupled with diverse experience

across multiple regions and market segments allows our appraisal team to deliver a quality product in a reasonable

timeframe. Scott Griswold at (406) 656-7500, Ben Gardiner at (970) 520-4871 or Stacy Jackson at (903) 820-8499

ranches where value may be influenced by recreational features, location and improvements and repayment may come

from outside sources. Our extensive experience and efficient processing allows us to quickly tell you whether we can

provide the required financing.
