The Montana Stockgrowers Association is headed back to its roots – Miles City, Mont., for their MidYear Meeting on June 13-15, 2019. Montana's most influential cattlemen and women organization began in the 1880s with a group of ranchers uniting on issues of open range grazing and cattle theft. Today the Montana Stockgrowers Association represents the largest number of ranchers in the state and works on behalf of new and different issues, but still for the Montana rancher. T...

Hello God, it’s me, Mara: You know, Lord, here’s a cute one on Love and Marriage – as it seems that June is sometimes THE month couples pick to marry, right? So – here’s’ some ’Food for Thought’!

We don’t often think of Southeastern Montana as bear country, but it is. And just as elsewhere in Montana, people are encouraged to be aware of bears and to play a role in preventing conflicts. On Memorial Day around 6 p.m., game wardens from Fish, Wildlife & Parks Region 7 responded to a report of a small black bear rummaging in trash outside of a garage on the southern edge of Miles City. The bear fled after FWP arrived, avoiding hazing attempts, but it returned to the area twice more that evening. The final time, it e...
Hello, We branded a few days ago. Branding is one of the jobs that you kind of dread, but you kind of love. The two hardest parts of a branding bee are preparing food, and lining up the day. It begins with lining up a crew. You need several people. But not too many. And not too few. I don’t know which is worse. First off you need cowboys and cowgirls that can gather the herd and get them in the working pens. You need people that can read a cow or calf’s mind, know when to push them, and know when to ease them along. When you...
We’ve all been waiting too long for spring to arrive, for overnight lows to stay above freezing, for lilacs to bloom and fruit bearing bushes to flower, be pollinated, with the promise of wonderful tastes to come. Luckily that held off long enough to avoid May 28 frost, where everything was covered with a delicate white blanket in the early morning. Rain continued to fall, three inches in a five day stretch. Farmers couldn’t get into their fields; my gardener couldn’t till his garden. All anyone could do was wait, patie...
