Judge refuses to block grazing in eastern Oregon pastures

A federal judge this week denied a temporary restraining order sought by environmental groups that would block grazing in six eastern Oregon pastures.

The Capital Press reports U.S. District Judge Michael Simon said the plaintiffs haven’t shown that turning cattle out on the pastures will cause irreparable harm to sage grouse or to rangeland research.

He said continued grazing isn’t likely to irreparably harm the ability of environmental plaintiffs to enjoy undisturbed sagebrush grassland, since the pastures have long been grazed and are rested on a rotating basis.

The case was filed against the U.S. Bureau of Land Management by the nonprofits Oregon Natural Desert Association, Audubon Society of Portland and Defenders of Wildlife.

It’s not often one sees a common sense ruling from an Obama appointee.

Note the bias in the title, “judge refuses to block grazing”, as opposed to “judge allows continued access to grazing”.

Even when a news article isn’t gaslighting, it’s still slanted.

Hey, you cows; get off my lawn!!

Yeah. And there is so little sage grassland out there.
And nothing at all ever grazed on it before the
advent of ranchers. So yeah...

Cattle grazing generally help grasslands by grazing.

Yep lot of fertilizer deposited from the cattle while grazing.

… unless it is overgrazed and not rotated.

Sounds like they have dealt with that already.

Long before the white man arrived, the buffalo and sage grouse lived in harmony. Cattle are nothing more than white man’s buffalo.

Buffalo migrate, cattle do not.

And grazing areas are rotated, which accomplishes the same thing.

[Rightwing Conspiratr1]

Are sage grouse good eating too?

[Mr. Lucky]

But they do migrate; it’s called rotational grazing.

Exactly. While the distances covered may be a little less, the effect is the same.

The Savory Institute has this well documented. Savory, by the way, is the actual surname of the guy who founded it, not a description of meat flavor from grazing animals.
