Correction:

In the 30 Years Ago article last week, we incorrectly wrote that the Tongue River Ranch was located on Highway 59. That particular piece of property is the Pumpkin Creek Ranch, which is BLM, and comes with its own problems. The grazing permit selection process on the ranch, which was done over the last year, met a lot of resistance from applicants after the entire permit was awarded to one permittee (Beardsley), despite the BLM initially looking to make the place into multiple allotments.

The Tongue River Ranch is also located south of Miles City, but is on the west side of the Tongue River.
