Ranchers Importing Cattle Must Pay Montana Property Tax
A federal judge ruled ranchers who import cattle from Mexico or other countries to graze in Montana must pay personal property taxes on their herds. The Miller Land and Livestock Co. faced tax exemption denial after importing 3,973 cattle and placing them on a 160000 acre range, deemed insufficiently secure as a warehouse. The decision cites risks of cattle straying and mingling with other stock, noting lack of locked gates.
