by Alyssa Barnes Courtesy Northern International Livestock Exposition BILLINGS - In this world of modern conveniences, it can sometimes go overlooked that many of the foods lining grocery store shelves did not originate in a factory. The most basic ingredient in a box of cereal or a bag of Oreos for that matter did indeed grow out of the soil - from a tiny seed; a tiny seed that also grew the forage to nourish the livestock that rounds out dinner plates with a hearty helping...

The Montana State University-Northern Lights were going to have a hard time beating the UGF Argos in the second dual of their annual rivalry series. When two of the top teams in the NAIA are going head-to-head and you forfeit 12 points to one of those great teams, the comeback is hard.
