American Prairie loses grazing rights

[Big Sky Guy]

The level of dishonesty in this thread is appalling.

After the Mike Lee debacle last year, I’m continually reminded that the lowest common denominator, in the midst of all the infighting and disagreements on how this land should be used for that and that land for this, at the end of the day the biggest win for public lands is that they haven’t been sold and are still here for us to discuss.

Off to a win for the new year…not bad. About time though.

I wouldn’t count on AP getting much more land anytime soon. They were outbidding the locals on estate sales and the sellers couldn’t back out because of the commission fees. They are going to private auctions now so the sellers can sell to their neighbors and lease holders. They still get top dollar for their land and the lease holders can continue to keep their grazing leases in their portfolio. Like I said before, the local ranchers/farmers look out for each other and determine their own economy as it has been and will continue to be.

I think OP has an agenda and is flinging everything at the wall rather than honestly engaging

Well, now you see what kind of nonsense this administration believed when they made this decision.

The irony of this while they are fully reliant on government subsidies and sweetheart deals is lost on you I'm sure.

Rancher welfare? Dude get a grip!

This sounds a little like welfare to me

Some areas up there are in need of restoration but it is acres per cow, not cows per acre. Some ranches might lease some land to two or three of the neighbors. People out East can’t get their arms around the concept of open range with cattle that might have three or four different brands. The local ranchers determine their own economy and help each other out. I live in the middle of 50K of open range. The fence around my place is to keep cattle out. If you took a million acres from us, our regional economy maybe the entire state economy would collapse. There is no way on God’s great green earth could we graze bison and survive
