“The historical record proves conclusively that tortoise thrive when cattle are on the range with them and without cattle grazing they are always malnourished and unhealthy and their numbers plummet.”

Ouch!

Thanks for posting. I did not know that but it certainly makes sense.

You're welcome. I swiped that info from B4Ranch who posted it first. You can glean a lot more useful information on this topic by following his posts. Constitutional aspects of land ownership for one example.

Someone wondered if bison helped the Desert Tortoise before cattle were introduced and I posted my thoughts on that here. I don't think anyone knows for sure what tortoise populations were before cattle ranching came in.
