Contrary to the good judgment and broad understanding shown in the agreement above cited, practically the entire reservation has been allotted in severalty to the individual Indians. The resultant decentralization of ownership is now and in all probability will continue to be a very serious obstacle to efficient land utilization and effective grazing management. This condition, though lamentable, is not susceptible of correction at this time, but must be taken into consideration as a major problem in any land management program for the area.

The fact that this area, in spite of artificial handicap, is still used for the large scale production of livestock further denotes its high to this purpose. The early success with cattle on the adaptability reservation and the recent popularity of sheep indicates that the economic conditions within the livestock industry may vary the class of stock which will produce the highest net return on the area. However, the larger part of the area being an open plains type is generally considered as ideal cattle country. The narrow strip along the western boundary is more suitable for sheep as the terrain is rough and broken and the feed largely browse and weeds.

The magnitude of the livestock operations on the Blackfeet Reservation warrants more attention on the part of the Indian Service than has been given it in the past. It is very probable that a more detailed study of conditions on the Blackfeet Reservation, particularly in regard to the ownership of patent in fee land within the reservation boundaries will indicate the desirability of some digression from the customary procedure in leasing. The reservation is a high class body of range, particularly that part lying adjacent to the mountains, comprising a strip about sixteen miles wide by fifty or sixty miles long, all of which is in excellent bunch grass type and abundantly watered.
