Reports on Range, Livestock
The following is the Montana
range and livestock report re
leased June 13 by the Montana
Crop and Livestock reporting ser
vice at Helena.
RANGES AND PASTURE: De
velopment of range and pasture
grasses has been retarded in cen
tral and western portions of the
State by sub-normal temperatures.
This limited the supply of new
feed for early grazing and has re
quired the feeding of hay and
grain to livestock by many stock
men through most of May. Above
normal rainfall during May stimu
lated the growth of grasses at
lower elevations where tempera
tures were not so cold. Reserves of
subsoil moisture are now adequate
to abundant over till of the State
with exception of some western
and southwestern localities. This
assures the excellent development
of range and pasture grasses dur
ing June, with warmer tempera
tures. Although the range feed
improved noticeably during May,
growth is expected to be very pro
nounced during June in all parts
of the State. Growth of grasses
this spring is from two to four
weeks later than normal in south
central and western portions, but
with exception of some southwest
ern ranges which have been hurt
by insufficient moisture in recent
years, the prospects for tange and

pasture feed this year appear to
be the best for sometime. Rainfall
during May was much above nor
mal over all of ahe State with ex
ception of spotted localities in wes
tern and southwestern portions. Ac
companied by below normal tem

wind, this combination of moisture
and weather has induced good

expected to result in a better than
BLOOD DONORS
TOTAL ONLY 31
IN CULBERTSON
The Red Cross bloodmobile made
its regular summer call at the Cul
bertson armory Wednesday after
noon, June 15, from 2-4. Only 31
donors from the Culbertson, Bain
ville. Froid and McCabe area gave
blood.
“This is the poorest showing Cul
bertson has made,” said Mrs. L.
W. Moen, chairman. A corps of vol
unteers canvassed every home in.
town as did workers in the three
jneighboring towns. The fact that
50 men from this area are away
at National Guard camp may have
had something to do with the
scarcity of donors as the Guards
are always among the first to
volunteer, she said.
Dr. Rav Jensen, Mrs. Inez Col
lings, McCabe, nurse and Joan.
O'Meara, nurse's aid. helped on
the drive. Mrs. Drucilla Nicholson,
Mrs. Esther Sheldon and Karen
Nicholson also helped. Canteen
workers were Virginia Jennison,
Jean McKinney, Lois McKinney
and Ida Casterline. Men who do
nated time were Walter Sheldon,
Marvin Sparks. Howard Rasmus
sen and Les Willie. The ice was do
nated by the locker plant.
Volunteer solicitors included
Mrs. Leonard Smestad, in Bainville;
Jerry Wallander, Froid; William

usual cover of grass for summer
grazing. With normal precipitation
during June, the supply of feed
for summer and fall use should
be abundant for most stockmen.
Summer ranges in forest lands in
the south central portion still con
tain a good snowcover which also
promises good feed supplies. Stock
water ponds and reservoirs are
full, with only a few exceptions in
some southwestern localities.
CATTLE AND CALVES: The
shrink of cattle and calves caused
by cold temperatures and retarded
growth of new feed in April has
been more than overcome with the
improved feed supplies during
May. A marked improvement in
condition is expected during June
with the large prospective supply
of feed. It was necessary for some
ranchers to feed hay and grain
to their cattle, in western and
southwestern portions, as late as
May 24, particularly to cows with
calf- Losses of calves during the
late winter and early spring
months were slightly larger than
usual on some ranches. Some of
these losses were due to pneu
monia and water belly. A few wet
cows were lost from "green feed”
poisoning. Contracting of calves
and steers for fall delivery has
been light, with offerings of 20
to 21 cents per pound.
SHEEP AND LAMBS: A marked
improvement in the condition of
sheep and lambs was registered in
May, with milder temperatures and
increased supplies of feed, Lambing
was completed with small losses
and the new crop is thrifty and
healthy. Shearing of sheep ap
proached the half way mark on
June 1, with operations completed
in many bands in southern coun
ties, but just getting under way in
northern sections. Contract sales
of lambs have been light to date
with some reported at 18 cents
for mixed lambs. Several contracts
for wool have been let at prices
ranging between 50 and 55 cents
per pound.
