The Weak Ones Turned Back, The Cowards Never Started: A Century of Ranch…

The Montana Stockgrowers Association captured many of the stories of Montana’s centennial ranches in a commemorative book to celebrate the association’s 125th Anniversary, “The Weak Ones Turned Back, The Cowards Never Started: A Century of Ranching in Montana.” The Wills family in Potomac, Montana is one of 142 families featured in this book.

Wills Cattle Co. – Potomac, MT

Last week, MSGA’s media intern, Lauren Chase, had the opportunity to travel NW of Helena to the tiny town of Potomac, MT.
I interviewed the Wills Family, of Wills Cattle Co. who own a ranch just outside of town. They shared with me their family’s history in the area and talked about what ranching means to them. Before this trip, I hadn’t been to a ranch in Montana where timber was one of the prominent features. The trees were beautiful and the cattle seemed to enjoy the shade and scattered sun rays, and I felt as if I was in a dream. This trip yet again establishes just how pretty Montana is, how nice the people are, and how important ranching is to the nation.
