Hmmm. He owes $1.1M and they spend $0.97M to take his cattle? Worth around $1,000 per head? And would that meat money have been kept from the owner, Bundy?

Details about the letter Utah Gov sent BLM asking the cattle not cross state lines...
“Bundy’s friends say the BLM wranglers told them the bulls were shot because they were dangerous and could gore their horses. One bull was shot five times.
But Houston said the pen holding the bull wasn’t even bent. “It’s not like the bull was smashing this pen and trying tackle people or anything,” he said. “The pen is sitting here. It hasn’t moved. No damage whatsoever. Where was the danger with that bull?”
and...
“That order from October 2013 says Bundy owes $200 per day per head for every day he fails to move his cattle. That amounts to roughly $640 million in damages owed to the federal government for illegally grazing his cattle.”
