John L. Moore was born in Miles City, Montana on August 24, 1952, the son of ranchers John "Johnny" W. and Pearl (Herem) Moore. Johnny Moore was a former CBC (Chappel Brothers Cannery) cowboy who had his son horseback early. At seven, John L., or "Larry" as he was called then, helped gather and trail 5000 cattle when a neighboring ranch dispersed.
