I’m talking about the cowboys they contracted to round up the cattle. The ones that rounded up the 400 or so head they were holding in the corrals.

Also - those cattle could be sold in Arizona, California - even in Nevada. Utah was not the only option, but I applaud Utah for their stand...although the contract cowboys are some type of low-life.

Contract cowboys are like buzzards and ravens...not pretty but necessary in the Grand Scheme of things

A lot of the folks who showed up at the Bundys are also farmers, so they will help the Bundys however they can.

I was quoting what I read about all the auctions refused to take any of Bundy’s cattle in several states, but Utah man was willing to take the money BLM offered and the Gov of Utah would not let the cattle be driven across state line...there was no one to take the cattle. That is when some got killed...two bulls shot.

All of that happened while BLM was still there at the standoff...the whole story has not been assimilated in one place so everyone understands how well the ranchers, American patriots, and supporters of Bundy were organized. BLM had no choice but to let the cattle go and stand down!

We get pieces of it, interviews, and the outcome but not how effective citizens were in working together to support him in other places too. I wasn’t criticizing what you said, only that BLM tried to sell them in other states before taking them off the land, however there were no takers!

Any auction house that would have put Bundy’s cattle on the market would have been out of business before the end of summer. Ranchers stick together.
