How public land grazing puts money back into the economy.

Many ranchers are from families who have lived here for over 100 years. They, with the miners who have been chased off, built this state and this country. They spend their money here. They employ people who spend their money here. They pay property taxes here. They keep food prices reasonable here. They donate time and money to their community, here. They own private land that is used as winter habitat for game animals, so hunters spend their money here. They pay grazing fees that help keep access to the national forests open for tourists here.
Think about it. If you kick the cattle off the range, as Western Watersheds wishes to do, the beef market will bottom out as ranchers sell off the animals they can no longer feed. The reduced beef value will cause all beef growers to cut back production. The cut back in beef production will cause a surplus of feed grains (corn, oats, barley etc.) Everyone knows a surplus of supply causes prices to drop. Grain farmers who go year to year just getting by will go out of business and only large, company run operations will remain. Once the surplus of beef has been exhausted the prices for the remaining beef will skyrocket as the demand will stay but the supply will be limited to beef produced in feedlots. The increase in beef prices will in turn cause an increase in the price of feed grains as beef growers attempt to keep up with demand using the depleted grain market. The increase in feed grain prices will cause a similar hardship to poultry and dairy production. How much can you afford to feed your family?
Grain fed beef is high in omega six while lacking the proper balance of omega 3, thus the cancer rate in humans will go up, Range fed beef is high in omega 3 with the proper balance of omega 6. The objective of the "environmental" groups is the destruction of all industrialism including those resources which support Industrialism.
If we fail, foreign corporations will come in and take over our public lands. They want to take our resources, gold, oil, timber, water, etc. etc. while we helplessly watch them do it. Every thing you have been led to believe in is straight out of UNICEP… a foreign think tank. Funny how connecting the dots places the world bank behind this scheme. Your lands, your resources, are their collateral for this National Debt, and, just like a mortgage, repossession or takeover is slowly occurring. Time to wake up. While we fight over our Public Land, and how to run it, or protect it, they are stealing it.
Do not support the U.N.'s agenda to abolish the Declaration of Independence as well as private property rights. Every thing Western Water Sheds supports is counter productive to a free society. The abolishing of Private Property Rights is the number one objective behind sustainable development agendas. By removing the most powerful users of our lands, "public" which is a legal term and does not refer to you or I, paves the way to removing casual use, as in hunting, fishing, hiking, skiing, wild life viewing, all of those activities are not sustainable. Once again, get educated. Start with the Earth Summit-Agenda 21- The United Nations Progamme Of Action From Rio… ISBN-92-1-100509-4.
Bill Clinton signed the executive order implementing this program, or as some so intelligently label it "Conspiracy Theory." It is a conspiracy and it is being implemented by your leaders.

Castle Rock Update

Castle Rock Fire, Sawtooth National ForestRehabilitation Update - WildlifeSeptember 9, 2007
“From a wildlife perspective, this fire has created a lot of patches across the landscape that will produce different age classes, which will be good for wildlife habitat.” -Bobbi Filbert, Wildlife Biologist on the Burned Area Emergency Response Team
The Castle Rock Fire burned in a mosaic pattern, leaving islands of green interspersed with black. It is important to note, however, in some of the upper reaches of the fire, there were pockets of forest that burned at a very high intensity.
Several weeks have passed since the fire burned through some areas of the forest and tender succulent shoots are already growing in the burn area along Warm Springs Road. Recovery in other areas will take a lot longer.
During the winter, elk depend upon the bitterbrush, snowberry, and grasses lying beneath the snow on south-facing slopes. These slopes in Warm Springs and Greenhorn Gulch burned and will not have an opportunity to resprout before the snows fly in the next few months. This winter and next may be difficult ones for the elk herds. In future years, the elk will find plenty of food and herds will be stronger and larger than ever.
There are concerns about impacts from the burn to the winter elk range and the possibility of the introduction of non-native and noxious weeds. The U.S. Forest Service does not want to lose winter range to invasive species and scientists and specialists are in the process of assessing and making recommendations for both emergency stabilization and long-term recovery of the elk winter range on the Forest.
