Dryland public rangeland cattle ranching in the west is actually a tiny part of US beef production. I think about 2-3% of the total.
Most of it is feedlot type operations in places like Iowa, Kansas, Nebraska, and Texas where there are no public rangelands.

In my most recent interview with Dean Cameron, ID’s insurance director, I was pretty dismissive at first of the idea that wildfire risk could be at play. “But remember,” he responded. “Lowland rangeland, BLM ground, is just as fire prone and just as dangerous as timber.”

Yak herders and cattle farmers are facing a growing crisis as weeds and invasive plants spread rapidly across rangelands. These aggressive invasive species don’t just crowd out native ones – they’re reshaping entire rangeland ecosystems.

The separation between forestry and rangeland science is silly and does ecology a disservice. Ecotones and alt stable states exist, and the fact that these folks (generally) don't talk to each other/knowledge share is wild.

The BLM lost 39% of rangeland staff since 2020. Without oversight, cattle overgraze, spread invasive plants, and pollute streams. Originally published by @propublica.org and @highcountrynews.org
The Diminishing Oversight of Livestock Grazing on Public Lands
Federal law requires agencies to review the environmental impacts of grazing, but the system is riddled with loopholes.
