The Bureau of Land Management is confirming it killed six cattle as part of its standoff against the Bundy Ranch in Bunkersville, NV.
“A total of six cattle died or were euthanized,” a BLM official told Breitbart News.
The official listed the dead livestock cataloged by the BLM explaining, “The Bundy branded bull that was euthanized posed a significant threat to employees during the gather. The Bundy branded cow ran into a fence panel injuring its spine and was euthanized.” The dead animals listed by the official were:
•1 Bundy branded bull was euthanized •1 Bundy branded cow was euthanized •1 unbranded bull was euthanized •1 unbranded cow was euthanized •1 unbranded bull died •1 unbranded cow died
According to the BLM, the gather was based on recent court orders. “Most recently, in 2013, in two separate orders, the U.S. District Court of Nevada directed Mr. Bundy to remove his cattle within 45 days, and authorized the United States to impound his cattle,” said the official.

Bingo!!!
I wonder if anyone trying to assess that area ill have to get prior permission or a permit to dig, for whatever reason to delay, giving them time to cover it up more...
Would be interesting to see if Geraldo can dig a better hole than the one he did looking for Al Capone’s hidden treasures from years ago...[snarf]
“Chewing gum on line, eh? I hope you brought enough for everybody.”
“I didn’t know there was going to be so many!”
*BANG*
“Boy, is he strict! “
"That's some awfully nice looking cattle you got there... It'd be a shame if something bad were to happen to them... "

If they admitted to 6 then it’s probably more like ten times that.
The more I think about it, the NOTAM was for private drones to record what the BLM was actually doing.

Strange, Cliven Bundy’s wife said that had found 8 dead cattle and were missing 37. I don’t know if she meant 37 including the eight found or in addition to them but the BLM confession is just a wee bit off.
It’s for the turtles!
30 seconds earlier and you’d have beaten me to the punchline...
;-)
Likely those that PAID for him. I looked and he doesn’t have LE experience or prison experience but does have political connections. If anyone has more info, I’ll retract this post.
Perhaps Mr. Bundy should draw up an invoice for all the damage ($1,000,000) and, with the help of a few hundred thousand friends, go collect.
Interesting....
Not unlike Herr Director (of the BLM Rustlers) Neil Kornze.
Neil Kornze managed land, cows and turtles for YEARS before he got this gig!! I think Harry Reid said this, but he’s a liar, I know.
Disarm the Government!
I would bet he does just that.
The feds came in and disrupted his business and killed off his livestock, his property.
Hey, BLM! If you like your BS, you can keep your BS!
I thought that the "Meh, well, six cows died, it happens" story was a little too glib - but without any frame of reference (like much of the rest of the population), I've no idea if it truly was a big deal, or not.
Again - this would assume that having your property stolen "was no big deal", to begin with. :-)
And as for livestock, the only experience I've got is with chickens, when I was much, much younger.....14K in the small barn and 28K in the big barn. A loss of six, for anything, would have been a good day. I know, it was my job (among other things) to pick the dead ones. Yick. I'll take cows over birds, every day of the week.
