Montana Governor Out to Destroy the Cattle Industry
Isn't the decision those in power make just wonderful sometimes. The federal government tells ranchers they have to control brucellosis or face severe restrictions on their abilities to move cattle across state lines like our friends in <a href="http://nowherethoughts.net/sarpysam/archives/1485-Idaho-and-Brucellosis.html">Idaho</a> and <a href="http://nowherethoughts.net/sarpysam/archives/83-Brucellosis-in-Wyoming.html">Wyoming</a> recently found out.
