Do you believe they deliberately chose calving time to assail the Bundys?
They either deliberately chose calving time or if they didn’t know it was calving time then they are completely ignorant about ranches and should not have any type of management or power over ranches/ranchers/grazing. Calving time is not a secret by any means. Remember the BLM deals with ranches every day all over the West, they count cattle, check on the range and improvements, etc...how could they not know? Calves are a very basic part of ranching and are the source of income, it would be like managing a card company and not knowing when Christmas cards should be stocked.
