Overholster, Fort Benton River-Press. Stock raising in Montana dates back to the fur trade days when each trading post raised pigs, kept milk cows, and, of course, horses and oxen. The story runs in Fort Benton that the industry’s real begin ning in that area was during a gold rush winter when a bull train was stranded and the animals turned loose in the Highwood mountains to rustle their own provender. The oxen were fat next spring. Joe Cobell, first settler on the Shonkin, raised some cattle, and W. S. Stocking was in the business before the eighties. M. E. Milner laid the foundations for the great Milner Livestock Company in 1879 and the Benton and St. Louis, or Circle out, followed. The winter of 1886-87 broke the open range, and thereafter most cattlemen tried to provide feed against a similar occurrence. Stockmen still had their troubles, however. Wolves, for ex ample. Newspapers of the 90s are full of wolf stories. The state put a bounty of $1 on wolves, 50 cents on coyotes, set up a bounty fund. One hardy gent earned four bucks one day with only a rope and a pocket knife. The bounty fund was exhausted when some joker, added prairie dogs and ground squirrels to the list. North of the border younger sons of English lords engaged in stock raising, and one summer day of 1883 four thousand cattle from El Paso swam the Missouri at Fort Benton, bound for Pincher Creek, Canada. Twenty men with the herd were headed by Lords Waldren and Cochrane, who, to the delight of impious cowpunchers, wore fore and aft caps, knee pants, gaiters, rolled stockings, monocles and sideburns.
