“Good for Ms. Neil for filing as an independent write-in candidate in this Fall’s general election for Montana’s Eastern Congressional District’s Representative.

I get it but do not equate raising and spending lots of other people’s money to ‘campaigning” for public policies important to Montanans. In 2002 after I got home from the Pentagon, having worked as Deputy Crisis Action Team Chief for Operation Enduring Freedom in th...

"Cattle producers have or soon will be removing bulls from their spring-calving cow herds, bookending another breeding season, and will need to identify which cows will calve next year before winter...

Here, through lots of visits, tests and a good team of doctors, he was diagnosed with end stage liver failure. Billings Clinic quickly hooked him up with a doctor and transplant center in Denver.

Now is a good time to be on the lookout for any suspicious pigweeds that could potentially be Palmer amaranth or waterhemp. Both species are very difficult to control and have limited management options, making prevention as well as early detection very important.

Be sure to scout areas where these vectors could potentially introduce Palmer amaranth or waterhemp. Look for...

They hope to have the Cattlemen’s Cafe at Sidney Livestock Market Center open by Aug. 27. It’s a natural fit for Ira whose grandparents Martin and Myrtle Lake, then his parents...

Maintaining a reliable feed schedule and lots of time are his keys to a good animal to present at the Richland County Fair. The son of Jim...
