“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. Clearly she feels strongly that Democrat voters should not have nominated me of the four of us running in the Primary. 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...

Fall bird migration has begun, and now is the time to review and reimplement biosecurity protocols to reduce disease transmission from wild to domestic birds. Highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) is a disease carried by wild birds that can affect domestic birds. Avian influenza is caused by the influenza Type A virus (influenza A). The virus is shed in the feces and respiratory secretions of infected birds and is able to survive for weeks in cool, damp environments. Migration can be...

The profitability of any business is crucial, and livestock production is no different. With most revenue originating from the sale of calves produced, retaining non-pregnant cows in a cow-calf operation is hard to justify. Therefore, this time of year is traditionally pregnancy detection season. "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...

A *Calf Roll-Over Auction* will be held Sept. 18 at the Sidney Livestock Market Center at 1 p.m. for Randy Searer. Randy Searer started retaining water in April 2024.

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. On...
Marett Schieber, one of Richland County’s graduating senior 4-H members, knows the power of consistency. In her novice years, she earned the title for the Richland County Fair’s Grand Champion Market Hog, but overall is extremely proud to have always been “in the blue” with her ribbons. Starting with lambs, Marett had her own breeding ewe group at one point but has since moved onto steers and has shown them for the last 7 years. This year, she will have a market steer and possibly a breeding heifer to show at the Richland County Fair....
In between running a tractor, feed truck, or managing livestock while working on his parent’s farm and ranch operation, Corbin Steinbeisser manages to raise a quality 4-H steer, and helps his younger siblings with theirs, as much as they allow him to, that is. In his first year of showing, he won Reserve in Novice Showmanship with his market steer, so he certainly knows how to get one in the winner’s circle. 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...
They’ve talked about it for years and now Ira and Amy Lake are taking the plunge into the restaurant business. “We’ve talked about it over the years, ever since the M&M closed. We wanted to get back into the restaurant business but with a smaller venue. Then we started wondering who was going to take over the sale yard. And here we are. This is ideal,” Ira explained. 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...
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. Vectors of potential introduction of Palmer amaranth and waterhemp include contaminated seed, especially millet, farm equipment, sunflower screenings, bird seed, and more. Be sure to scout areas where these vectors could potentially introduce Palmer amaranth or waterhemp. Look for...
