It say 900 cattle on desert land. What is the carrying capacity of such land. Ranchers have a right to run cattle on public lands for a fee (usually fairly low which it says he is not paying), but they don’t have a right to destroy the land with over grazing. It sounds like he is just plain against. Of course, with 14 children, he may not have the money.

They've been grazing cattle on that land since 1870.
They probably know the carrying capacity.

The area in question is 628,000 square miles. I don't think 900 head of cattle would do all that much damage.

And what exactly the hell would they be damaging....weeds?

And one more thing. The irrelevant tortoise in question is not an endangered species.

Mr. Bundy said he quit paying the fees when the govt cancelled his contract. He accepts that he owes about $300,000.
