ranching

Is Montana finally heading out of our multi-year drought? Experts say things are looking better for 2023.

This week in Farmer Finishers we have a plethora of things to keep in mind. We raised money today for St. Vincent kids pediatric intensive care unit. A worthwhile cause that will save the lives of so many of our kids here so if you can over the weekend please help them...

Paul's calving at the ranch next week, so Flakes will be out. Catch up on a bunch of PSAs on Farmer Finishers!

Montana law allows for ranchers to protect their stock. No one loves animals more than Paul and it's something you never forget when you have to protect your own animals.

Paul had a rough week. Read about his ranching woes he hopes to recover from, and some other news you might have missed.

Foreign ownership of land, bison in Yellowstone and the APR, the water courts and more. Here's our chat with the President and 1st Vice President of the Montana Stockgrowers Association during their 138th Annual Convention taking place in Billings.

No one loves animals and respects life more than Paul the Rancher but these animals can be devastating if they are left uncontrolled.

So sometime in the next few days, I'm going to set aside some time, pop some popcorn and waste a little more of my life on Yellowstone.

I know many people that are my age that feel the same way now, you just respect life more as you get older.

With my kids all living in faraway places, it's tough to get together with them too, which I also hope to do more of later. As for now though I'm still a pretty boring guy happy with the simple things.

Here in Montana, there has been a lot of objection to the idea of plant-based proteins because it isn't the real deal. But, there's a new plant-based program in Europe that could very well be integrated in the States soon.

With 7.16 people per square mile, Montana DOES have more cows than people. Farming and ranching is still incredibly important across the entire state. (We've got 2.51 cattle per person, BTW.)
