If the Fed is leasing land for grazing purposes, should they not be responsible for maintaining the fence?

Bundy can't very well claim that the federal government has no jurisdiction over the range land and then complain that they didn't put up a fence to keep his cow off the interstate now can he?

He may not be making that claim. I do not know if he is.

But if the Fed built a highway through his property, or on their own property, knowing that the land was used for grazing, are they not responsible for constructing a suitable fence to protect those using the highway?

My guess is this whole thing is more about retribution against Bundy then anything else.

Also; Since the Fed talks out of both sides of their mouth, why can't Bundy do the same?
