Stock-Farmers versus Ranchmen in Montana Edge Change
Ed H U Reid of Denver, assistant general manager of the company, says Montana ranching has changed. Settlers claim land and run small herds, reducing big cattle herds and transforming the range. Holt owns 100000 acres, purchased rail land and government scrip to secure a controllable range. The era of 25000 head herds may fade to thousand head herds. Reid notes the shift as settlers crowd in.
