What you people probably do not realize is that on every
rancher's grazing permit it says the following:
"You are authorized to make grazing use of the lands,
under the jurisdiction of the Bureau of Land Management and covered by this
grazing permit, upon your acceptance of the terms and conditions of this
grazing permit and payment of grazing fees when due."
The "mandatory" terms and conditions go on to list
the allotment, the number and kind of livestock to be grazed, when the permit
begins and ends, the number of active or suspended AUMs (animal units per month), etc.
The terms and conditions also list specific requirements
such as where salt or mineral supplements can be located, maximum allowable use
of forage levels (40% of annual growth), etc., and include a lot more stringent
policies that must be adhered to.
Every rancher must sign this "contract" agreeing
to abide by the TERMS AND CONDITIONS before he or she can make payment. In the
early 90s, the BLM went on a frenzy and drastically cut almost every rancher's
permit because of this desert tortoise issue, even though all of us ranchers
knew that cow and desert tortoise had co-existed for a hundred+ years.
As an example, a family friend had his permit cut by 90%.
For those of you who are non-ranchers, that would be equated to getting your
paycheck cut 90%.
In 1976 there were approximately 52 ranching permittees in
this area of Nevada. Presently, there are 3. Most of these people lost their
livelihoods because of the actions of the BLM. Clive Bundy was one of these
people who received extremely unfair and unreasonable TERMS AND CONDITIONS.
Keep in mind that Mr. Bundy was required to sign this contract before he was
allowed to pay. Had Clive signed on the dotted line, he would have, in essence,
signed his very livelihood away.
And so Mr. Bundy took a stand, not only for himself, but for
all of us. He refused to be destroyed by a tyrannical federal entity and to
have his American liberties and freedoms taken away. Also keep in mind that all
ranchers financially paid dearly for the forage rights those permits allow - -
not rights to the land, but rights to use the forage that grows on that land.
Many of these AUMS are water based, meaning that the rancher
also has a vested right (state owned, not federal) to the waters that adjoin
the lands and allow the livestock to drink. These water rights were also
purchased at a great price. If a rancher cannot show beneficial use of the
water (he must have the appropriate number of livestock that drinks and uses
that water), then he loses that water right.
Usually water rights and forage rights go hand in hand.
Contrary to what the BLM is telling you, they NEVER compensate a rancher for
the AUMs they take away. Most times, they tell ranchers that their AUMS are
"suspended," but not removed. Unfortunately, my family has thousands
of "suspended" AUMs that will probably never be returned.
And so, even though these ranchers throughout the course of
a hundred years invested thousands(and perhaps millions) of dollars and
sacrificed along the way to obtain these rights through purchase from others,
at a whim the government can take everything away with the stroke of a pen.
This is the very thing that Clive Bundy single-handedly took a stand against.
Thank you, Clive, from a rancher who considers you a hero.

Hundreds of family farms, businesses and homeowners have
been displaced by federal government land grabs since 2009. Obama put Agenda 21 implementation on
steroids and wasted more than a trillion dollars on this scam. Working through unelected regional
commissions they will use “conservation easements”, water grabs, endangered
species claims, wetlands and stream buffer designations, national and UN park
declarations and land use zoning plans to implement the “wilding project”. The Feds don’t even own the land, the States
own the land, but are too dumb or corrupt to claim the land. We need to clean house.
