Feds to close 600,000 acres north of Las Vegas for cattle roundup

Federal authorities will restrict access to almost 600,000 acres of public land for the next seven weeks as they prepare to round up what they call “trespass cattle” in the desert 80 miles northeast of Las Vegas.

Kinda answers that age old question of "where's the beef ! " Bob

Sounds like its gonna be another Waco, TX kind of incident

Sounds like a tremendously good use of our tax dollars, go F with some guy in the middle of the fricken' desert to round up some cows. With all the problems facing this country(and elsewhere) why in the world is this high on the priority list. I wasn't aware that cows ate desert tortoises either(or whatever threat they pose to them).

This doesn't sound like it's gonna end well.

I raed a few of the comments and a guy named wayne hage was mentioned so I looked up what that was about and found out it was a similar fed "stealing/denying/trampling"(IMO) a persons land rights.

"The complex legal case began in the late 1970s when the federal government launched a series of attacks on Hage, intermittently denying the Hage ranch permits for grazing and water access while objecting to improvements the family made to federal areas for which it had long-established grazing rights.

In 1991, Hage finally chose to ignore grazing restrictions in Nevada’s Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest as well as fines federal bureaucrats imposed for grazing violations. Federal officials responded by impounding some of Hage’s cattle.

The legal issues, of course, matter deeply. The “sagebrush rebellion” that Hage helped revive held that new government restrictions on long-accepted public uses of federal land amounted to a taking of property rights. The high point for the rebellion came in Hage’s posthumous 2008 legal victory...."
