Stock Outlook For Montana Cattlemen On Prosperous Range
Helena Mont June 27 Never in the history of stock raising in Montana have reports from spring or June round-ups been so encouraging this year.

The outlook for stockmen to recover losses from the winters of 86 and 88 is flattering. It may soon allow Montana cattlemen to command better markets for undressed beef.
