The Big Horn County Sheriff’s Office is proud of our farming and ranching community and respects the hard work you put in getting your crops harvested. As a reminder though for the safety of those traveling the roads around your operations, and accordance with Montana Law, please clean the mud of the roadway. Mud can turn the roads slick and large chunks can cause damage to vehicles. Thank you and we hope you have a great harvest.
