The government spent 20++ million tax dollars flying in hired guns, helicopters, goons to round up the cattle, etc etc...This was all planned out...

Until the crowd got really big...

When they gave them a deadline to release their cattle or else they'd come get them...I bet it got real quiet in camp fed.

Hopefully the local Sheriff was telling the Federales, "What the ***k are you people trying to do here"?

Sheriff

Now that's a name with a long history...over a thousand years....half way to the birth of Christ to put it in perspective.

First Sheriff in America was in Virginia in 1620....maybe he knew Shakespeare.

Let’s do the math...if the FEDS spent about 20 Million dollars and the rancher owed 1 million dollars in back grazing fees, it appears to me they could have paid his grazing rights for maintaining roads, water ways, grasslands, etc for 20 years (while they used other ranchers fees to buy more ranches) on the public lands BLM was supposed to maintain....BLM could have saved the other 19 million. Oy Vey!
