Tortoises are an “indicator” species - the entire tortoise predicate is lie stacked upon lie.
That's why so many gardeners add it to their gardens. Improves the structure and the nutrition.
If BLM was really managing the land, they wouldn't have so much dessert, they would have just used the cow poop to transform part of the area into lush fields of green.
The ranchers could have given them the cow poop instead of fees. That poop costs a lot at garden centers.
Now that gives me an idea. How about the Bundy’s just gather up all the cow poop they can find everywhere on the range, weigh it, and figure out the value and pay off the so called fees by delivering great big loads right to the BLM’s front door.
Now that there would be a real crowd pleaser. Wouldn't you just love to see the BLM Chief's expression?
