[QUOTE="Horseless, post: 634683, member: 6345"] In Montana things usually sold by the acre. But of course they are listed many different ways. In Montana anything sold less than a 160 needs to go thru a subdivision. Many Ranches that are sold may not even list acres, it will proabably say how many cows it will run. Usually higher than it can actually run. Some of the lands around here have BLM allotments, state lands and even parcels of indian land. You need to do your research. (If it has a creek, river bottom for sale, those are just reserved for the out of staters with the deep pockets. Ag. production means nothing) Most farm ground lists the acreages. As far as terminolgy used when describing acreage it depends where you are from. If someone talks about quarters, you must be a Canadian. Common terms here are: sections and half sections or sometimes a 160, and even more rare 80's and 40's. Land has become more blocked in as neighbors buy out neighbors and locals just refer to places as the name of the person who previously owned it, not really knowing the acreages. [/QUOTE]
