    Eric Lovec|Updated May 4, 2023

    A few weeks ago the Ekalaka Eagle was informed that the newspaper press located inside the Miles City Star would be shutting down at the end of April.

The papers purchased by Adams in a deal that was finalized last November were the Livingston Enterp...

  • Cooking in the West

    Susan Metcalf|Updated May 4, 2023

    It is branding season, which is the season when it is fun to go to another ranch's brandings but not nearly as fun to host your own branding. As a veteran of many years of branding, I offer the following tips--especially for aging ranchers: #1. As you age, so do your friends, and older people are not the most desirable branding helpers.

    Jerry Schillinger|Updated May 4, 2023

    4-29-23 By the time most of you read this, I hope to be home on a tractor or sprayer! Fortunately, Brett and Boomer are putting seeds in the ground while we wrap up business in the 68th Legislative Session. At this point, committee work is done for most members, leaving only Floor session work as the formal task. Of course, there is still a lot of behind-the-scenes lobbying going on for the policy bills still with unfinished business. On the appropriations side of the coin...

    Hello God, it’s me, Mara: You know, Lord, sometimes one might ‘learn’ a few things from ‘teeny tots.’ That was pretty cute when ‘D.G.’ shared about a great grandchild of her ‘d-i-l’s’ grandmother. She said that the two of them were sharing lunch when ‘J.M.’ said, ‘Hey – would you believe that my teeny tot Izzie just turned two years old, and she can talk?
