YUP!!!! :wink: I agree, sw....good old bozo went from agriculture capital to "greenie/granola" capital of montana in just a matter of a few years....Hell, no wonder they lost the college national finals rodeo!! :roll: More vegetarian/tree hugger types just a stones throw from our place than anywhere else in the state! Makes me sick to watch all that fertile, black, rich land being dug up for condos/real estate agency/financial institutions and car dealerships!! Unfortunately, more and more of those same folk are rolling over our way....the family ranch around here is becoming an endangered species and being taken over the by the real estate brokers who only want to sub-divide and make a buck!
ranchwife-- You are right- I used to know all the places in the Gallatin Valley, but the last time I was there I was lost... Starting about 20 years ago many of the ranchs over there that sold out to the real estate people reinvested by buying places in eastern Montana- I can think of Rolling Rock Angus, Hinman Angus, Younkins right off the top of my head- several more... Now it is getting to where we are getting the out of staters, land investors, hunting preserve, mansion on a ranch- 2 horses and a dog type of people buying up lots of places over here too....
