"If you are talking about people farming and ranching on taxpayer owned property"

You're confused.

It's not 'taxpayer owned' land; the ranchers have patent title to the water, surface, and grazing rights. The 'taxpayers' only own the remaining rights, if any. Grazing is very beneficial to the land, and beneficial to the 'taxpayers' too. There is no better source of food than range-fed beef, if you wish to live a long life; if not, go vegan and die young.

The Forest Service announced that on Thursday it will end the temporary closure of the 147,000-acre Diamond Bar allotment. The allotment was closed to the public during the cattle impoundment.

Until they can find a reason to restrict it permanently, thus denying use to the "taxpayer/owner".
Thanks for the ping.

I agree with you, editor.

Even if is Federal land, we all benefit by using cattle to graze it because it is good for the land and it lowers the price of beef vice having to grow feed for the cattle.

If the loggers had to pay huge sums to log the national forests, the price of lumber would be much higher and thus home prices, paper, etc.

If I were Bush I would defund these idiots.
