The Bundy family does own a ranch, but it doesn't include the land in question. The land in question is open range, adjacent to the Bundy ranch, that was owned by the State of Nevada and then the federal government. Since the current Mr. Bundy refused to renew his family's grazing contract twenty years ago, he's been ordered by courts multiple times to move his cattle from the land that he doesn't own or contract to use. He's ignored those orders.

He ignored the last court order giving him a date to remove his cattle or face having them declared trespassing cattle subject to removal by the BLM.

I guess im a bit naive but why does the federel govt. own cattle grazing land and then claim that endangered turtles are more imortant to the economy than cattle raised for food?
