Soon these cows
will be moved to grazing allotments on National Forest land like that in
the background. Summer grazing in the foothills of National
Forests is an economic necessity for most of our small independent
ranchers.
These allotments
are passed down from generation to generation of western ranching
families.
But they will be
phased out of new wilderness areas and many Montanans will be forced to
sell their ranches to large ag corporations or developers.
