Protection of the grazing privilege allowed stockmen to control and rest the ranges,
Know This!
The grazing permits were not to control the livestock business. The grazing privileges were to keep traveling herds from entering and using the stockmen's legally established range. The permits were based on a 'homestead' and the ranch within the forest reserve. The government asked the ranchers if they wanted the US to control the range, keeping others out. There was an option. The stockmen said yes. The goal was to end range wars against the smaller rancher vs the big money ranches.
