The Beaverslide Haying in Agricultural Science Directory

A beaverslide is a tall structure used to harvest hay. It was largely used in the 1900s to create giant 20 ton stacks of hay that are nearly 30 feet tall. The use of the beaverslide has dwindled in recent years because it requires a smaller crew to bale hay with machinery. However, it is still in use in the Birch Creek Valley near Dillon, Montana. Beaverslide haying is becoming extinct. Few ranchers still use this method to harvest and stack hay because it requires a large crew. However, you can still witness this unique haying process in Western Montana.
