The "S 6" Ranch is Sold
Deed Filed Conveying Property to D. D. Walker
From Bielenberg &Walker
Special Correspondence of the Standard. Dillon, Nov. 10. By a deed filed in the office of the clerk and recorder yesterday title to one of the biggest ranches in Montana passes from Bielenberg & Walker Company to D. D, Walker. The amount of transaction aggregated $82, 000. The ranch consists of 12, 000 acres of meadows and grazing land, and is considered one of the finest properties in the entire state. It is situated between the towns of Fox and Wisdom, and it is of such proportions that it annually cuts about 20, 000 tons of wild hay.
Bielenberg & Walker were early to recognize the possibilities of the basin as a feeding ground, and it is stated that these gentlemen were the first to feed cattle in that section during the winter months. That was nearly twenty years ago, and the gentlemen have kept up the industry ever since and helped develop it to the extensive scale it has reached to-day. Last year, it is asserted about 1, 700 head of cattle fattened on the ranch, and the current report is that about the same number will be fed this year. The statement is made that Mr. Walker will continue in the same lines as the company did, and use the basin as a maturing ground for the large number of cattle he owns. The “S6” ranch, as it is called, is well watered, well fenced, controls thousands of acres of the finest summer pasturage, and as a stock ranch is unexcelled in the entire state.
