4. Cattle on the landscape in this region has never been...

A profitable venture without taxpayers subsidizing them to the hilt. And that's before getting into the environmental costs of their presence here, and the political support for this untenable set is a massive example of inappropriate liaison between private interests and political power..

We paid to have all the Indigenous people out of here, eradication of wolves, bears and any other predators all to make cattle production viable.

In consideration of the environmental problems one must first realize that the edible vegetation out here is sparse compared to that in the eastern 2/3 of the country as is food needed by the wildlife, deer, elk other ungulates.

The questions one need ask when comparing cattle grazing in the west and cattle grazing east of the Rocky Mountains are:

In the East; How many cow/calf pairs can I put on one acre of land?

In the West; How many acres of land do I need for each cow/calf pair?

It's a battle that has gone on for 120 years, needs to over. Grazing on public land in the west is exacerbating the climate change problem and will cause water shortages for 2/3 of the continental US in a rather short time. That and now out of control tourism, land development, extractive industries.

Those are major concerns along with green power generation and all the other issues that are starting to get notice these days.
