Montana Cattle Industry Expands Despite Smaller Herds
Montana, once famed for vast cattle herds, shifts to many smaller herds as homesteaders arrive. 1916 sees 283,101 more cattle than 1915, with higher values, while imports grow and vaccination rises. State efforts by the livestock sanitary board emphasize disease prevention and improved herd health, boosting Montana’s standing in the livestock market.
