Nothing in the Bundy Ranch court order gave the Feds the right to kill cattle and destroy private property. The stand off was about a asymetric response by the government.
Your understanding of the situation is imperfect. Bundy OWNS the water and the forage grown from that water. Grazing fees are rent for using the land it is on.
