Report: Western Activities of the Society

Washington Agricultural College

Abstract

The first western meeting of the American Society of Animal Production was held at the United States Range Experiment Station, Miles City, Montana, Aug. 20-24, 1928. The meeting was most successful, not only in attendance but also from the standpoint of the quality of work done and the general satisfaction which came to all in attendance.

The physical facilities for the meeting at Miles City were unique and had a considerable bearing upon the success of the meeting. The United States Range Experiment Station occupies the land and buildings formerly known as Fort Keogh. The area is approximately 10 miles square and lies just west of the town of Miles City. There are several hundred acres of farming land along the river bottom, while the remainder is rolling hills and prairies typical of the ranges of the northern Great Plains area.

The buildings are typical of a western pioneer fort, except that they had been abandoned for some time before they were turned over to the Department of Agriculture.
