Reasonable argument/ explanation.

Now considering Nevada is an open range state, does that not obligate BLM to put up fences to prevent grazing?

If his cattle are straying on to the federal land across a common border, then the BLM needs to erect a fence.

I've read the statutes and Nevada is most certainly an open range state. Livestock owners are not liable for damage caused by livestock unless the aggrieved property owner had a 'legal fence' around his or her property.

Marbury v. Madison gums up the works, again.

Federal courts have ruled that Nevada open range law does not apply to federal land because of the Supremacy Clause of the U.S. Constitution.
