Sounds like Wyoming wants to put up a fight. Nor sure what they can actually do to oppose it. Maybe the State will have the funds to purchase the BLM and turn it to State land. We could still use it at least, then.

To my knowledge, the feds can't pick who they sell it too unless specific and unique circumstances require it. Outside of that it must be a competitive bid process. They can issue criteria where neighboring landowners have the right to match offers, but I doubt many landowners could compete with billionaire individuals and industry bids.

In other words, I think it's a safe assumption, given the priorities of this administration, that the highest bidder will buy any BLM land that is up for sale. Existing grazing leases will get pushed out and conservation priorities will take a backseat to big $$$.
