BLM versus Bundy

[Sunlei]

7. "if he gets any kind of federal subsidies"? Yes, the 1.50 a month graze lease fee.

Ranchers adjacent to our public lands get to graze cheap and we, our DOI/BLM pay for everything else. (roads, fences, everything)

We spend many billions more to fix cattle grazing damage, fence, road that land,- then the grazing fees take in.

Even last week. We (our BLM) probably paid that contractor about $300 per head to conduct that round-up, plus thousands more for helicopter contractors. I saw another round-up contract. They charge 1,500 just to unload a helicopter from its trailer. They are paid by the animal.

Then the BLM turned the animals back loose. Even if they didn't turn the cattle loose, they wouldn't even come close to the round-up costs from any auction sale.
