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??
