This collection is a subgroup
(Board) of the Montana Department of Livestock records, RS 500. Please see the
primary finding aid for more Montana Department of
Livestock records. These Montana Livestock Sanitary Board records (1907-1967)
consist of correspondence, financial records, legal documents, reports, subject files, and
miscellany for the Board, plus subgroups on foot-and-mouth disease, and tuberculosis.

The Montana Live Stock Sanitary Board was established in 19O7 and consisted of three
members: the president of the Board of Stock Commissioners, the president of the Board of
Sheep Commissioners, and the president of the State Board of Health. The State Veterinarian
served as secretary and executive officer of the Board. The Board was empowered to govern
quarantines, establish and maintain livestock sanitary regulations, direct and regulate the
slaughter of all diseased animals, provide for meat inspection, and provide for the payment
of indemnity when required.
In 1921 the legislature increased the size of the Board to include all six members of the
Livestock Commission, with the chairman of the Commission serving as chairman of the Board.
The Board was also given additional powers, including the power to regulate the importation
of livestock, the eradication and control of livestock diseases, and the movement and
quarantine of animals infected with contagious diseases within the state. Additional powers
were gradually granted by succeeding legislatures. In 1931 the Board got the power to
inspect and grade meat; in 1949 the Board assumed the regulation of Montana's rendering
plants; and in 1953 the Board began the supervision of garbage feeders and artificial
inseminators.
The Montana Veterinary Research Laboratory, at Montana State College in Bozeman, was
organized in 1929, as a cooperative effort of the Montana Livestock Sanitary Board, the
Montana Experiment Station, the Montana Stockgrowers Association, and the Montana
Woolgrowers Association. The laboratory was established to investigate diseases of range
cattle and sheep.
Dr. William J. Butler was appointed state veterinary surgeon on March 4, 1913. He resigned
in 1948 and was followed by Dr. Howard F. Wilkins (1948-1954) and Dr. Hadleigh Marsh
(1954-1956). In 1956 Dr. J.W. Safford became state veterinarian and served until 1973.
The Montana Live Stock Sanitary Board was abolished in 1971, and its functions were
transferred to the newly created Board of Livestock, which vested these responsibilities in
the Department of Livestock, Animal Health Division, headed by the State Veterinarian.
The Montana Livestock Sanitary Board Records consist of general records from the Board, as
well as records specific to two distinct programs overseen by the Board. The collection has
been organized into four subgroups; three representing the records of the Board and its
programs, and the fourth a listing of any items transferred to another program within the
Montana Historical Society.
The Montana Live Stock Sanitary Board subgroup contains interoffice correspondence
(1911-1922, 1957-1959) between the state veterinarian and other administrative officials and
the field veterinarians around the state; general correspondence (1911-1922, 1956-1959)
arranged into Montana correspondence, out-of-state correspondence, and topical
correspondence; and outgoing circular letters (1913-1915, 1925-1929, 1957). This subgroup
also includes financial records (1917-1968); legal documents (1922-1937); legislative
materials (1957-1959); minutes of the Board (1956-1959); press releases (1959); annual
reports (1919-1928); weekly field reports (1915-1918) of assistant state veterinarians;
speeches and writings (1956-1959) of Dr. J.W. Safford and other Board employees; a subject
file (1921-1961) on Bang's Disease, the State Laboratory Building Commission, and other
topics; miscellany; and clippings.
The Foot-and-Mouth Disease subgroup contains general correspondence (1914-1915) documenting
the successful efforts of the Board to combat the 1914 epidemic of this disease in Montana.
The largest number of letters are with ranchers and homesteaders hoping to bring cattle and
horses into the state and inquiring about quarantine regulations.
The Tuberculosis subgroup documents the Board's Tuberculosis Control Program during the
193Os. Earlier efforts to control this disease are partially documented in the general
correspondence of the Montana Live Stock Sanitary Board subgroup. This subgroup contains
general correspondence, legal documents, reports, and miscellany.
The Separations subgroup contains a list of the artifacts, maps, printed material, and
photographs which have been transferred to the Museum, Library Map Collection, Library, and
Photograph Archives respectively.
The collection is arranged by subgroup and then by series.
Collection open for research.
Researchers must use collection in accordance with the policies of the Montana Historical
Society Library & Archives. The Library & Archives does not necessarily hold
copyright to all materials in the collection. In some cases permission for use may require
additional authorization from the copyright owners. For more information contact an
archivist.
In 2024, the various collections of the Department of Livestock were integrated under one
collection identifier, RS 500, in order to help facilitate access, reduce redundancy in the
Montana Historical Society Library & Archives catalog, and to follow best archival
practices.
Collections from the Department of Livestock's Divisions and Boards that were previously
treated as separate entities are now integrated into this collection, RS
500. Rather than reprocessing over 50 linear feet of Livestock materials, MTHS
staff decided to keep the past arrangement of those collections/finding aids and provide
access to them via links in this central finding aid. This decision has allowed the MTHS
archival staff to maintain intellectual control over the collection, while removing the need
to reprocess it. It also keeps State Agency finding aids at manageable sizes. Please read
the Content Note carefully to determine if this subgroup/sub-subgroup pertains to your
research needs.
