Excerpt from Crossbred Beef Cattle for the Northern Great Plains The northern Great Plains are well adapted to range beef-cattle production and have been largely utilized for that purpose since about 1870. This area comprises approximately acres of land in Montana, Wyoming, North Dakota, and South Dakota. Precipitation varies from 12 to 18 inches per year, thus making most of this area unsuitable for general farming. It has been esti mated that approximately 75 percent of the land in the northern Great Plains is utilized as grazing land. The range cattle on these plains are largely of Hereford breeding, but limited numbers of Aberdeen Angus and Shorthorn are also found. Cro'ssbreeding of beef cattle has not been commonly practiced though there are iso lated ranches where some crossbreeding is carried on.
