BLM Grazing Overhaul Would Give Ranchers More Grass and Perks, But Could Force Elk Off Public Range

Newly proposed BLM grazing rules would give ranchers plenty of flexibility for grazing livestock, while limiting public input.

Sounds like the way it is written, only the entitled ranchers with these cheap basically non inspected and monitored grazing leases and a government agency will determine the outcome. Typical fox in the henhouse scenario.
Who is big enough to fight this?

Put whatever 4 legged creature you want out there to graze. But could we please stop the ranching subsidy? $1.69 per animal unit month.....that isn’t even a bad joke. The is F....ing ridiculous!

Cattle prices are at record highs and we still give ranchers almost free grazing. No one knows why, but we do.

And I own a ranch and can claim to be a rancher. I think I would feel guilty if I had a federal grazing lease.

The feds give free access to hunters. Compared to the price for trespass fees and leases on private ground, it's basically welfare for hunters.
