Movement of Montana Cattle and Sheep To Distant Ranges in 1919
The United States Department reports an unusually large 1919 movement of cattle from Montana, with total cattle outflow estimated between 500 000 and 600 000 for all purposes. Sheep movements are 400 000 to 500 000 to feeding and grazing lands across the Dakotas, Nebraska, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, Texas and New Mexico, as heavy early season snow and drought prompted rapid relocations. Railcar supply kept pace with orders, with cattle moving west prioritized over dead freight and markets in New Mexico, Texas, Michigan and nearby states showing satisfactory results. Feeds in the Northwest remain adequate for remaining stock and no major shortage is foreseen.
