Reed was born in Denver, Colorado and grew up on a cattle ranch near Missoula, Montana. He returned to Colorado to attend Colorado State University, receiving his Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree in 1960. Reed engaged in active veterinary practice from the early 1960s until he returned to the family ranch in Missoula, where he was the managing general partner of the ranch from 1964 to 1983. During these years, Reed also served as a faculty affiliate for the Department of Range Management at the University of Montana, School of Forestry and on the Montana Land Management Committee of the National Wildlife Federation.
