We propose to purchase up to forty lots over the next two years in the Rockin J Ranch Subdivision. The lots chosen are mutually agreed upon by the Rocking J Sales Staff, the investor, and DAH Builders, LLC. A deposit of $100 per lot will secure the lots, and the lots started must be subordinated to the lenders of the spec inventory. The lot note would be paid off when the house closes to a third party. We propose to start one house a month beginning in July and increase starts as the current investor’s inventory in other areas closes out. The houses would be given to the Rockin J Sales Staff to sell and show current/future lot owners the inventory. Most of the houses will take about five months from start to finish, and the inventory

Gartner-Denowh Angus Ranch (GDAR) is located just on the outskirts of Sidney, MT, a close-knit family run ranch that focuses on raising efficient and functional cattle bred for the commercial cattle operation. GDAR began in 1957 when Joe Gartner and Russel Denowh bought 20 head of registered Angus cows from a dispersion sale in Montana. In 1974, Denowh and his son, Mickey, bought out Joe Gartner but kept the commercial name. At this time of the GDAR's life, they were calving about 150 cows and selling around 60 bulls per year. Russell's other son, Paul, joined the operation in 1984.

The Green Valley Ranch Incorporation is a major beef producer attempting to expand its pasture in Central Valley California. The area which they have chosen, Philip’s Creek, is a part of a wetland ecosystem susceptible to seasonal flooding. Therefore, a dike must be built to minimize the damage and ensure adequate grazing areas for the cattle. However, by building the dike, the company is threatening the Patrick’s Marsh Wren, a species dependent upon the wetland ecosystem the company plans to disrupt. The habitats are exemplified in Figure One.
