Cliven Bundy started grazing in 1953 and paid a grazing fee for 45 years.
The Bundy family entered into a grazing contract and began paying grazing fees for the Bunkerville allotment in 1934, when the Taylor Grazing Act of 1934 first required a grazing contract and grazing fees to graze livestock on federal land.
So the contract “expired” when they stopped paying in 1993?
The court records say 1953 was the beginning. But then, when one is in court, one needs to have EVIDENCE. It seems Bundy has none of prior payments.
