In a Thursday April 16, 2015 photo, Billings Livestock auctions a pen of heifers in Lockwood, Mt.  Ranchers have begun replacing the 4.3 million American cattle lost to drought since 2012, filling the void with Montana livestock. Since early spring, buyers from as far away as Texas and Tennessee have been represented at Montana auction arenas, where bidding on replacement heifers has been brisk. The trend should bolster Montana's gross income from cattle sales, which was already surging from $961 million in 2009 to roughly $1.6 billion last year, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
