Western Livestock Reporter reported $9,440 in plan administrative expenses for 2022: 0.47% of average plan assets, below the peer median. Employer contributions averaged $521 per active participant. This ratio covers administrative expenses reported on the plan's Schedule H only; fund-level expense ratios are not included in public structured data — see methodology.
The plan sits in the $1M–$10M size bracket, benchmarked here against 30,021 comparable plans and shown alongside other agriculture, forestry & fishing employers. By assets it is among the smaller plans on file in Montana (207th of 229), and 808th of 945 in agriculture, forestry & fishing. In 2022, employees put in $2.49 for every $1.00 the employer contributed.
Western Livestock Reporter's 2022 employer contribution ran below the $1,114 median for plans its size, in the bottom quarter of its peers. Filings report dollars actually contributed, not the match formula; the formula itself (for example, 50% of the first 6% of pay) lives in the plan's summary plan description from HR.
