This is America, we all have the opportunity.

Agree with Faster Horses and pups.

Very nice, very American. I oftentimes think that the decline of families involved in ranching and farming, and the values they learn and portray, is what is changing America for the worse.

Agree with Faster Horses and Traveler. Good advice all the way around.

Remember that McDonalds and others are merely catering to consumer/political image, demand and sentiment. The industry will continue to move in that direction and it will not be as painful as it may seem.

Very nice grandma, beautiful ranch and family.

There is not a lot of snow in the area. Occasional dumps but they tend to melt rather quickly when compared to higher elevations. Investors are in much of Montana but tend to be more in the scenic areas ( mountains, streams, lakes etc) and in lands containing good elk hunting and fertile grain...

Stocking rates around Winnett vary as to amount of bottom lands, creeks, and farming practices. In general, but highly variable, most I know run about one pair per 30 acres. Lower towards the Missouri breaks and rugged country, a little more towards the Snowies where precipitation is higher...
