Mexican Cattle Do Not Aid Montana Industry Says Dr Butler

Helena June 9 Importation of Mexican cattle into Montana has risen but Dr. W. J. Butler state veterinarian says it is not in the state’s best interests. He notes 7000 dogies in April and May vary in color shape and horn and many are emaciated or undersized. He warns overstocking may follow as grass is currently good. The cattle are disease free but carry spinosa ear licks which keep affected stock in poor condition. Most are grazing on Montana lands under lease rather than bought by state stockman. A year on good Montana grass will improve them but inferior breed traits cannot be removed.
