For those curious, yes, we are the granddaughters of Boyd and Shirley Hardy—talk about an iconic duo! Our last name is a very common local name that has been around Eastern Montana for centuries. Our Grandpa Boyd unfortunately passed in June of 2024, due to health complications. It left a terrible hole in our family, as his boots will always be too big to fill.

 

He enjoyed ranching the most, his favorite hobby! The growing herd of cattle that he perfected year by year, into what it is now is cherished by our family. His greatest pride though, was being a husband to our Grandma Shirley, who is still as feisty and lovely as ever. She took no backseat to our grandpa, and was just as involved as he was in the ranch. We have fond memories of her always riding shotgun in his pickup to go check cows, or their favorite past time, to take a drive around the ranch.

 

Our grandparents did us the honor of raising us part time, while our parents got their own farm/ranch established. From babies to young adults, our grandparents were always involved and wanting us to carry on the families farm & ranch. We were very lucky to have their hand in our upbringing, and we hope to continue making them proud.
