Well, Mo, it's like this. The first rancher, with Minuteman help, was going to build a much more serious barrier...that is, until he met up with exactly the kind of campaign as these folks are running on these threads.
Not being a political animal, just your average rancher, he didn't have the personal resources to stand up to their fierce attacks.
So, he backed down. And so, Simcox built the fence he asked for.
Which is far more action then you will ever see out of 99% of the keyboard cowboys on FR.
No, to date he has built 20% of the fence asked for.
He was being denied the right to build a fence on his private property to keep his cows in and other animals out?
Why didn't the rancher put up his own fence, to begin with? It is his ranch and if he wanted to keep his cattle in and other cattle out, he should have long ago put up his own fence!
I bet there are lots of ranchers who wouldn't mind having cattle fences installed for free.
Have they put in the vehicle barriers & cameras that were supposed to be installed by the end of June?
