The History of the Western Ag Reporter

Today, Western Ag Reporter (WAR) is one of the largest weekly livestock newspapers. We predominately cover 14 Northwestern states but are read from coast to coast, border to border and even in a number of foreign countries. The WAR tells it like it is while also valuing its readers and their opinions. We strive to be "all the news a busy rancher has time to read."

The WAR wasn’t always so named, it began as the Western Livestock Reporter (WLR) on September 6, 1940 in the Old Union Stockyards, Spokane, Washington. Norman Warsinke started the WLR at only eight pages with a year’s subscription valued at $1.

The WLR was established "to supply an accurate weekly source of information" about commercial cattle markets in Oregon, Washington, Montana, and Wyoming. Soon after the growing purebred industry of the Northwest needed a voice too, adding to the content of the paper. On January 15, 1941 Warsinke started the weekly front page column, “Comments,” he addressed current issues. Warsinke moved the WLR to Billings, Montana December 2, 1941.
