Better Ranges Show Stock Improvement In Montana
Improved November range conditions lifted Montana livestock prospects says Jay G. Diamond. By December 1 the index for Sheep and cattle neared normal with cattle 81 percent and sheep 81 percent while eastern Iron County range quality remained weak. Favorable weather aided recovery and government culling plus federal purchases left stockmen with sturdier herds likely to endure winter with fewer losses. Improvement was most evident in northcentral and northeastern areas.
