Part One | From Farm to Fair: The Brist Family’s Livestock Journey
In Part One of this Daily Inter Lake special, step onto the gravel road leading to Lone Lake Farm, where the Brist children—fifth-generation ranchers—prepare sheep, goats, and steers for the Northwest Montana Fair. From 5:30 a.m. chores to training in the show ring, the Brist kids share the dedication, sacrifice, and deep bond that comes with raising livestock. This is more than farming—it’s family tradition, resilience, and lessons that last a lifetime.
