Montana Ranching: Raising Family and Beef (Part One)

PART 1: During the summer of 2010, MSGA was fortunate to have Lauren Chase from the University of Iowa as our multimedia communications intern. Lauren spent the summer traveling to ranches across the state and putting together short video profiles of ranchers and informative issues-oriented features. This video is Lauren's honor's project for her broadcast journalism and anthropology majors. It highlights family ranches in Montana with interviews and footage of summer ranching life. The ranchers discuss their desire to pass the ranch on to the next generation, and the environmental and economic issues they deal with on a day-to-day basis. Also, a wildlife biologist from the USDA's NRCS, discusses the importance of ranchers for supporting biodiversity on rangeland in Montana. Congratulations to Lauren for completing this culminating project from a fantastic summer. Thanks to MSGA's Research, Education, and Endowment Foundation for funding the internship.

    My husband and I lived in Montana for 3 and a half wonderful years: two in Missoula, 1 and a half outside of Darby, in a rented cabin. Now we’re looking for a way to move back, wish we’d never left! We would love to have a farm or ranch but like a lot of people our lives just never took that direction. We realized too late we wanted to live around horses and cows! Nevertheless, we can at least live close to ranches and see the animals. Also, the wild animals are spectacular: elk, deer, eagles, ospreys, coyotes. What a beautiful place.

    You know? I never met anyone from Montana I didn't like, All good people, like people used to be. It's the air, the land, the open spaces, and I suspect a good dose of appreciation for who made this beautiful place we call home. I think His name is GOD, The man. He was from Montana. Probably looked like Sam Elliet or maybe John Wayne I'm coming home soon. I'll see yall up in the flathead valley God bless all you ranchers and farmers out there . We in the city never give it a thought as to where our food comes from. A good road trip home brings it all into focus. stay dry ya'll .

    I like this video, but it also makes me sad. Reminds me of how much pressure ranchers and farmers are under without being directly owned by megacorps. Who is going to produce wholesome food after Monsanto, Campbells, and other corps buy all the farm and ranch land?

    I think you are the most luckiest people in the whole world all I ever wanted to do since I was a small child ways to have a ranch and to work with a wonderful family. That was my dream ever since I was a small child to own a Big Ranch and raise calfs cows and horses and maybe sheep. But it never worked out for me I end up marrying the wrong person and they never wanted the dream that I had but I thank you for wonderful that all you live in the most beautiful country in the world you get to see it everyday and you have all this wonderful animals around you. that I always wanted to have. I did have a lot of horses I know how to ride very well . I trained police dogs for 23 years . I was around animals but I always wanted to be a cattle rancher always God bless all of you and I hope you all continue to have your farm and raise your children to run and they are able to work the ranch because the Lord God is in charge of everything in this world

    America couldn't feed all of its population if meat consumption stayed as high as it is today and was to be provided for by traditional family farming. The giant corporations make the high beef consumption of the huge American population possible in the first place. So either you eat far less meat than you are today, or you accept that you are actually supporting those factory farms through your consumption.

    wrong. a lot of family operations are up to date and do a great job producing beef and other food for the population. better than most corporations. There are some of the older generation that isn't as advanced, but as a whole family farms are just a smaller scale, especially in the beef industry.

    You could buy from other beef producing countries . The way the factory farms treat cattle will only cause vegan nutters to get the livestock industry closed down.
