CUSTER, Mont. – In the late 1800s, when drought was pushing cattle herds out of Texas, their drovers pointed the herds north. The final destination: Miles City, Mont., and the plains of eastern Montana. The area was noted as a cattleman’s paradise, and by and large, for the last 130 years, the romantic ideology has stayed the same. It can’t be denied though, the past year has been a drought for the records and it has left many questioning that cattleman’s paradise.
