Big Hole Basin Cattle Country Described by Bates Jones
Robert Jones of the Bates Jones Cattle Company argues Big Hole Basin is a premier cattle region from Jackson to Fishtrap spanning about 70 miles. He cites 150000 acres in hay with 200000 tons cut, potential for 100000 more acres in hay, and capacity to fatten 50000 cattle annually. He notes current feeding of 27000 head and projected 82000 head, with irrigation key to productivity and superior meat quality attracting Alaska shippers. He advocates rancher self-sufficiency, raising cattle locally to cut costs and improve gains.
