Grazing permits have no value they are paper based on agency regulations. The private vested rights in the form of range and water on the allotment have value and are even taxed by the IRS. Those rights are what is purchased when a federal allotment is sold. The Laney's own easements and fee interest on the surface of these lands. They do not claim the land itself just the easements. There has been a take of their private property through an illegal permitting system designed to force people off these ranches. They are backed up by 120 years of territorial law and congressional statute and several supreme court rulings. yet the Federal Courts intent on rubber stamping agency regulation cannot seem to understand their argument. Perhaps the argument was not well presented. We have come a long way in this country.
Prior to his arrest, Kit Laney insisted all coyote guns on the ranch no longer be carried and stowed them away due to the mounting pressure of the Federal law enforcement. Thank god he did or I suspect he would no longer be with us.

Great to see you posting here! And way to tell Mr. Rogers the truth about what's going on out here, too! The more we educate the public, the better off we'll all be. If we don't fight for our rights, no one will! Keep up the good work!!!!!!
