you google places in Montana and sit there and try to tell me about how we are stuck in our ways saying we are not willing to try things.
Ok what was the lesson in the Dirty Thirties? Do you know the lessons taught then? I do from all the stories from my in laws.
Did you know a neighbor south of us was the first farmer in Montana who started farming in strips instead of large blocks? we learned from him. We still do the strips while so many have jumped on a band wagon of chem fallow no til. No fire breaks either. We cut a wheat crop in 2001 in a terrible drought when the chem fallow guys had nothing to cut.
Hmmm, what do you know it works here.
Why in the world would I want to read some guys book on raising cattle? I just gotta talk to the other people around here to discus different ideas and suggestions. Is this guy out here? Nope. Is he raising cattle out here? Nope.
As for Montana being the "paradise" of long ago take another look. Look up Charlie Russel and take a look at his work, "Last of Ten Thousand."
The range was overgrazed and the mild winters lead the cattlemen into believing they had no need to put up hay. Then the winter of 1886-1887 hit.
Look up the Grant Kohrs ranch. One of those guys quit after this winter saying he will never have an animal that he could not care for again.
they also discovered the Texas longhorns are not winter hardy enough to survive a winter without hay.
I think it is so funny that you are praising this guy and I cannot count on both hands ranchers that have been doing what you discribed for years.
By the way you have no idea of what we have tried or done in the raising and maintaining our land and cattle. So don't preach to me.
When we term a farm or cattle grassfed we mean strictly fed on pasture and hay~dried and stored grass~ without supplemental grain.
