All will be well, and that will be well is well.
We're surrounded by National Forest. Select ranchers are allowed to graze their cattle (and we have to fence them out) for a nominal fee. It's an hereditary allotment, or a rancher can sell the right by selling the herd currently being grazed on it. Make what you will of it. Seems to me they might at least give other ranchers a go at it--maybe open it up to bidding? The ranchers are required to maintain their allotments' line fences & springs, so they do have a theoretical investment, if they actually do it. Ours doesn't. Anyway, that's the free-range story on that.Free ranging Angus??
