Montana | Almost everything good and wonderful that we like best in Montana seems to have come from North Dakota, What a great innovative group of progressive machine builders and farmers. Now I believe because of mechanical Front wheel Drive Tractors with loaders, for moving huge snow, North Dakota has incredible herds of cattle.
I remember in the 60s 70s and 80s hearing of herds of cattle drifted under and lost to blizzards and lots of sheep. Where I lif=ve in Montana we saw such loss in the winter of 78-79
We got a 4250 MFWD with 280 loader and our cattle have never gone hungry a day. Before that, the D4 cat saved my father in Law's herd in 78-79 but it was a struggle and we fed a lot of cattle with snowmobiles and a sled.
Pete Fay came to Montana State University in about 1976 from North Dakota and he was the most brilliant Ag professor I ever enjoyed listening to and learning from. You guys in North Dakota were making roads and progress while we were making North Dakota jokes and I am sorry we did that.
