In this gripping episode of Distinctly Montana Stories titled "Blood on the Wool," I delve into the harrowing world of early twentieth-century Montana sheepherders. Life on the range was often monotonous, but that all changed one fateful night when a sheepherder encountered a violent gang intent on wreaking havoc among his flock. This episode explores the dark chapter known as the Sheep Wars, where economic tensions between cattlemen and sheepherders erupted into brutal confrontations. Join me as I recount the chilling details of these attacks, the sheer brutality involved, and the lasting impact on the lives of those who endured it. Tune in to uncover a lesser-known but significant part of Montana's history.
