If the ranch has water tanks, wells,drizzlers, etc. on public land they are there not only with gummint permission but by contract and are maintained by the ranch, not BLM. They, and all associated equipment are private property and not to be screwed with except by prior negotiation. My own family runs cows over many townships of federal land and works with these things continually. Damaging the water works with cows still on the land would itself be a felony.

Guess I need to see pics of damage before I buy into the fedz getting that stupid. It’s possible the water works might be federally owned. That would make any damage double stoopid so let’s wait for actual evidence.

I heard the rancher say he owns the water rights to that land for another several years. Don’t know how that works, but he said he is the owner now.

I hope someone gets pictures of the vandalism.

AND the VANDALS.
