THE WEEK IN REVIEW

Two Bobcat football weekends back to back plus a whirl wind trip to Denver Bronco Monday night football. Bronco stadium (row five) is awesome and what a wonderful new addition to Bobcat Stadium. One fact holds true for Bobcat fans, it's either sunburn or frost bite with no in between and sunburn it was both Saturdays! Then, how about Friday night dinner with friends at the world famous Edgar, MT Bar & Grill. Life is good!

Oh, and the government's wolf recovery plan continues to prove what all of us involved in the livestock industry have know all along. Another Park County Montana ranch is identified as victum of a brucellosis outbreak. Hungry wolves drive brucellosis infected elk herds from their traditional seasonal grazing and calving grounds to private property where cow herds become infected with the disease. Don't blame it on the Buffalo, granted they are carriers of the disease but before wolves we gained and maintained brucellosis free status in spite of the bison issue.

Heaven help us for hay trucks! Met a lot of 'em on the way back to Billings from Denver on Tuesday. Got a call Wednesday from a local looking for trucks to get 1,000 bales to Texas from Montana. Another client had several hundred ton listed on 'Country Classifieds' and sold into New Mexico. Cattle prices are good but so are inputs! Mother Nature still has the upper hand in our business.
