I have copy-edited this article and added the refimprove tag. I think it needs more references, and more information, not just covering the cattle industry. Thanks. Baffle gab1978 (talk) 07:14, 11 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Importance of this topic[edit]

The winter of 1886-1887 was a watershed event in the history of the cattle industry in the northern great plains region of the United States. As currently written, much of the meaning and drama are lost. I would guess that the winter's historical import would much outstrip strictly meteorological interest.Jwilsonjwilson (talk) 02:29, 1 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
