T J Forest Inc is a sawmill and lumber remanufacturing business in Nampa, Idaho, founded in 1984 by Kurt and Royce Batey. It is listed in the mills category, found in the Ada county part of the register, and serves Canyon county. This is a mill, not a standing timber buyer. It works with Douglas Fir, Hemlock, Spruce pine fir, Southern yellow pine, and hardwood, turning logs into finished and industrial lumber. Its specialties are pallet stock, industrial grade dimension lumber, panel products, "cedar fencing", and industrial grade boards. It also offers "custom milling services" and delivery options for lumber orders. The sales team at TJ Forest includes Joe Robinson, Travis Vezina, Pat Collins, Kyle Batey, Kyler Landa, and Tanner Schutz, each working with the same core species and the same specialty product lines. This fits a landowner who already has logs cut, or who wants lumber milled to a specific grade or size, rather than someone looking to sell standing timber or have trees logged off their land.

Businesses that buy, cut or mill timber in Canyon County, working from a nearby town.
Kick Back Timber is a sawmill in Parma, Idaho. They saw rough sawn and specialty lumber, with big structural timbers as their specialty, and they also do some woodworking and retail items like mantels and shelves. Their main species are Douglas Fir and Pine, with some hardwood from their local urban forest. If you've got timber to sell, this is more of a mill than a logger: they take logs in and turn them into lumber, offering delivery, lumber grading, and kiln drying. They say they offer "rough sawn and specialty lumber," and for grading work they are a "registered partner with PLIB." They serve Canyon County, and describe their service area as "contractors, retailers, and DIY er all over the greater Treasure Valley," with shipping available nationwide. There's no stated minimum acreage or tract size for timber sales. This looks like a place built around milling and lumber products rather than buying standing timber off a landowner's acres, so if you're looking for someone to walk your woods and make an offer on trees still standing, this may not be the right fit. It could suit someone who already has logs or wants finished lumber, grading, or kiln drying done, or who wants a rustic mantel or shelf made from the wood.

How much is my timber worth in Canyon County?
Nobody can tell you what your timber is worth without walking it. Value depends on the species, the size and grade of the trees, how thickly they stand, the ground conditions and how easily a logger can reach them. Anyone who quotes you a figure without seeing the land is guessing, and a guess in that direction is rarely in your favour.
What stumpage value means →Do I need a forestry consultant to sell timber in Canyon County?
You do not have to use one. A consulting forester works for you rather than the buyer, marks the timber, runs a sealed-bid sale and typically charges a percentage of the sale. Research from several state extension services has found that timber sold through a consultant often returns enough more to cover the fee, though results vary by tract and by market. The decision usually turns on the size of the sale and whether you have sold timber before.
Do I need a forestry consultant? →What is timber worth in Canyon County?
