Beaton of Bottineau Pioneers Diversified Sheep Farming
Duncan Beaton of Oak Valley township in Bottineau county earns praise for his diversified farming approach. He purchased 75 Cotswold ewes from Montana, wintered them in a straw shed, fed a mixed ration, and has them grazing on fall rye since April 20. County Agent Henderson is credited for guiding his start in corn, clover, and alfalfa. Beaton, a former Shorthorn admirer from Scotland, arrived in Bottineau county in 1884 from Grey County Ontario with little more than ambition.
