What Big Horn Coop does
Big Horn Coop generates revenue primarily through transactional sales across its four divisions, with pricing varying by product, location, and customer type (including bulk delivery, retail, and contract propane). The cooperative go-to-market combines direct-to-consumer physical retail, direct bulk delivery to farms/ranches/construction/industrial sites, self-serve unmanned fuel pumps, and an e-commerce channel launched in October 2024 via a Do it Best partnership. Customer segments are predominantly SMB farm and ranch operations in the Big Horn Basin region (sugar beets, barley, beans, corn, alfalfa, livestock), with secondary segments in commercial/industrial energy and the general public for convenience items. The member-owner governance model — in which member-patrons elect a board of directors across 10 geographic districts — aligns commercial incentives with the agricultural customer base and supports patronage-based economics over external shareholder returns.
