From what I hear the Hammonds had as part of the probation offered as sentencing for one year, they agree to never sell the property to anyone but the Feds. Then when they get out of prison, they are “RE-Sentenced. I don’t know the facts, but they most likely could have gotten the full 5 years with no probation afterwards. That would have meant they could keep the land in the family, or sell it to another Rancher. This was a land grab in the tradition of some Western Movies where the powerful take all they can and kill those who stand in their way.

The Hammonds have ended up getting rid of their cattle.
I am moving more and more toward hating this Administration in its entirety.
I thank God every day for the black slime and pray for Him to please pelt everyone there with it.
