American prairie. What's the issue?

AP is playing the long game, will be around when all the save the cowboy crowd is dust.

Q: How does this virtue signaling by Burgrum and the Montana delegation "Save the Cowboy?"

Seriously, I'm trying to figure out how hammering a group, AP, that leases private pasture for 8,000 head of cattle to nearby operators is somehow helpful to the cause of ranchers.

Thanks for finding the cattle number. I searched for a bit and then was side tracked. I think this is a major point....well, one of several anyway.

It’s part of a larger plan to save ranchers. Phase one was sending 40 billion to Argentina and importing more Argentinian beef into the US market.

This will help lower retail beef prices and combined with the fact that AP will pay more for ranches that come up for sale in the area it should assist in helping beef producers expand their operations and pass on their ranches to the next generation….

Mixed reaction to BLM decision to cancel American Prairie Reserve bison permits

American Prairie CEO Alison Fox called the decision "unfair, deeply disappointing, disruptive, and inconsistent with long-standing public-lands grazing practices in Montana."

Of all the touchy subjects in this great state, I fail to fully comprehend the Save the Cowboy thing.. maybe someone can elaborate?

“reversing a prior federal authorization that allowed APR to graze non-production bison on over 63,000 acres of federal public lands.”

When did we have to ALLOW or DENY free roaming native species to graze federal lands?

Those free roaming native species are legally designated as livestock in MT when they are privately owned. Those herds come under the jurisdiction of the MT Dept of Livestock rather than FWP which manages wild herds.

So is that the bottom line that needs to change? How do we change these from livestock to free roaming native species owned by the trustees? Wasn’t elk a high fence private stock at one point here…….?
