Heavy sheep losses from Montana snowstorm hit the range
Eastern Montana endured a severe snow storm from Thursday evening to Saturday noon, dropping over a foot of snow with high winds. A westbound freight killed 60 sheep on Beaver hill, and about 2 000 more are reported lost as sheep drift with no feed. Ranchers rushed hay to Wibaux, while many holdings face large lambing losses amid a scarce feed supply. The thaw and above freezing temps offer the only hope for recovery.
