[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 2482269, member: 5412"] I personally don't think he will ever be able to strike a deal. They backed off to win the war while loosing this battle. I'm not sure the other ranchers were bought out per say. They were forced out by loss of grazing lands. In Okla, we can run a cow per 2-3 acres on good pasture land. The ranchers in the NW states like Montana, Nevada, Colorado, Idaho, etc, require a hundred acres per cow, and sometimes more. Its not unheard of to require 200 acres of pasture per head. Looking at the pics in the reports that have been posted, I'm guessing a high number of acres. Ranching in the upper tier of states around the Rocky's have been suffering for years. Ted Turner is a great example of a person that has put more ranchers out of business than the BLM I suspect. He comes In, buys land, builds multi-million dollar houses, which causes the property taxes to rise to the rate that ranchers that have been on the land historically before statehood, have to sell their property's, or loose them in bankruptcy. The Green forces have us by the balls right now. How ever this turns out in Nevada, I praise them for standing up to the gubberment, and the support of the people in this. IMHO, this could be the start of the revolution. It may not happen now, but the seed has been planted. [/QUOTE]
