Our Team

Host – The Bear Cabins in Broken Bow, Oklahoma. The Bear Cabins team partnered with The Rockin J Ranch in early 2023. The Bear Cabins team stepped in to make sure guests can book with ease, are given the best customer service and cared for like family before, during and after guests stay. If you are looking to stay at the Rockin J Ranch The Bear Cabins team is happy to help guide you through the entire process.

Ranch Manager – Kody Milligan is a native to the area. He has worked on and managed ranches for many years and knows the land, the cattle and how to troubleshoot just about any situation this region of the country can throw at him. An army veteran and former tribal officer for the Choctaw Nation, Kody is an expert at safety protocols and knows how to respond appropriately to protect the well-being of everyone around. He’s also quick with a smile and handy as the day is long, and will make sure everything is in excellent shape for your stay at the Rockin J. His wife Haley is also a former tribal officer which truly makes them the ultimate power couple.

Ranch Foreman – Lee Nickles is a proud tribal member of the Muskogee Creek Nation and the fifth generation of his family to live in southeastern Oklahoma. He was an electrician for the Union Pacific railroad for 20 years, has an extensive knowledge of antique and collectible firearms and is somewhat of a legend in the local hunting community (according to him…). Lee has spent his entire life around beef cattle and became the Rockin J ranch manager in 2020. He and his daughter Allison are a dynamic duo as she also helps with the cattle and upkeep of the property. If you want to have an in depth conversation about Native American history or the likelihood that Big Foot is real, Lee is your man.
