Eradication of gid Seen as Turn Point for Montana Sheep
The report argues the present favorable conditions for gid eradication in Montana will impact the U S sheep industry. Dry land farming's rise signals a reduced big range, with some producers closing and others shrinking flocks, while promising a future of small flocks if success continues. Montana sheep men are urged to push gid eradication to save bands from further loss.
