Horse Production in the Range Country

D. W. Chittenden

Montana State College

Abstract

In Montana, the methods used in producing horses vary with the locality. Farmers in the irrigated valleys where the ranches are small use essentially the same system of production practiced in the corn belt. The topography is level, the land fertile and the soil rather heavy. The predominating crops are the small grains, with alfalfa the main hay crop. Here, horses weighing from 1600 to 2000 pounds are most common.

In the range area, production methods vary depending upon the operator, the main difference being in the management rather than in the feeding. The feeding problem is simple, provided range is available. The horses usually run out the entire year with supplementary feed only in extreme cases.
