American Prairie loses grazing rights

What in the actual heck. Is the internet not internetting today? Totally didnt see this turn out like it did.


Question, my Google algorithm doesnt help either. What is AUM? I cant for the life of me get what it stands for.

Sincerely some dude on the internet.
It gives the number of animals that can be supported by the land (though its definition has some variation and is not 1 to 1 comparable all the time). Important as you need a lot less land in say east Texas per bovine than in a place like west Texas.

@Sandhills seems like a good guy. I was wrong and so an apology was in order. Besides that as we’ve seen on this thread doubling down on stupid isn’t a good look and nor is it honest or authentic.
 
There is a valid reason for our skepticism regarding livestock out here in the arid west. The attached map has in red allotments that don’t meet health standards with livestock identified as the primary cause. It’s bad out here. That’s why some might be slow to blindly praise the rancher.

With conditions like this as the status quo it’s little doubt how we could be open to trying something different.
