Pretty much standard for the farmer to be responsible if someone hits a cow.

Does it make a difference as to on who's land the cattle/cow are grazing?

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

Good question but it may also be defined in the lease agreement
as to whom is responsible.

Grazing Rights have the rancher maintaining fences & water supplies.

However, there have been many instances where BLM & other Federal employees have tampered with those ‘improvements’.

Look into the Wayne Hage case near Tonopah.

The Feds lost that case & still have NOT paid the Hage estate for the results.

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?
