Dobbin Credited With Bringing First Breeding Sheep to Montana
Historic account notes Thomas Harris introduced breeding ewes to Bitter Root and Dobbin located in Deer Lodge valley soon after. The Deer Lodge area becomes described as Montana’s first breeding ewe hub with prominent ranches such as Williams & Pauly and Mount Haggin. Montana’s sheep population rose from 1865 to 1904, peaking in 1904 with wool output over 30 million pounds, making Montana the leading U S wool producer. About 10 to 11 thousand people are engaged with sheep across the state including owners, herders, shearers, and related workers.

Montana Seed Pea Acreage Cuts Sharply in 1927
Montana seed pea acreage for 1927 dropped by about half from 1926 levels, driven by overproduction and a shift away from canner varieties. Total 1926 acreage was 26 000 acres with 520 000 bushels produced. 1927 forecasts place state acreage well under 15 000 acres. Yield per acre remains strong, and reduced canner demand could ease carryover issues for 1928.
