I

s it just me or has this year gone by abnormally fast? It seems like two weeks ago it was January, and now, here we are in the middle of June.

When I was younger, people would always tell me that the older you get the faster time goes, and I’m not going to lie I kind of thought they were a little full of it. Boy was I wrong!

It seems like the more we have going on, the faster time goes, which is a good and a bad thing.

The good thing about time moving so quickly is that we are able to see progress on tasks that we’re working on, but the bad thing about it is we don’t make time for the things that we should. It’s a fine line to walk between being productive in our tasks, and being productive in our families!

We, as an organization, take on a lot of responsibilities, not just the day-to-day operations, not just taking care of our members, not just on the legal battles, not just on legislative issues that affect our industry, not just private property rights, not just federal lands issues, but we are tasked with trying to juggle all of it on a daily basis. I am very proud of the work that we accomplish each and every day.

Your NMCGA team leans very heavily on God’s influence for the decisions that we are faced with each and every day. It’s for that reason and the fact that we have an extremely strong membership pool as to why we have a prosperous and growing organization, and I’m proud to be a part of it.

Last month there was an article written about the history of the New Mexico Cattle Growers and the Public Lands Council (PLC). It shed a lot of light on what has happened in the past. The past is very relevant, and I appreciate and understand the trepidation behind rejoining the Public Lands Council.

The things that happened in the past were horrible and should never be forgotten. I fully understand the positions of those who were wronged by that organization in the past.

That being said, I do want to express our point of view on why we decided to become members of PLC once again. For several years, the PLC has stepped up and helped us to get meetings in places that we were unable to for one reason or the other. They did these things not just to help New Mexico, but to help all of the states that have issues on their federally allocated lands.

Are we going to agree on every issue every time? Absolutely not. I am not blind to the fact that there are times where we will be completely opposed to what PLC is doing. If we’re not at the table when these decisions are being made, then what voice do we have? I relate it to voting. If you didn’t vote, then you can’t complain to me about how things have happened. We are not a full dues paying member of the PLC. We currently are paying $7,500 per year for our membership. They know if NMCGA members do not see that they are working hard for us that this will more than likely be just a one year membership.

My role as President is to fight for and protect the future of our organization and industry, and we as an organization need all the help we can get to ensure that happens. I encourage you to ask any questions or give any comments about this decision to me, as we are making decisions to give our next generation the best chance at success that we can give them.

Take Care, God Bless You, Pray for Rain, and “Ya’ll Have a Good’en”

The decision involved a legal challenge to a change in the U.S. government’s interpreby Caren Cowan, Publisher tation of the word “source” in the Clean Air New Mexico Stockman Act of 1963. The Act did not precisely define what constituted a “source” of air pollution.

For 40 years the Chevron decision allowed federal agencies to run roughshod over science and the public, often doing grave injustice to ranchers. From 1997 until around 2010, the ranching industry fought in court to retain their rights to ranch on federal lands in the face of the Endangered Species Act (ESA), the Administrative Prohe original decision came in 1984 in cedures Act (APA) and other such laws.

While conservatives hail this decision as one that will put the government back in its intended role. The courts, not administrative agencies, will have the power to interpret statutes.

They know that the decision itself will not immediately change anything. The decision will be used in future cases to provide more just conclusions on what Congress intended in a specific law.

Legislative bodies more often than not pass laws with little specificity, allowing agencies to determine and implement regulations. Those regulations may go well beyond the intent of the legislation.

Extremists have quickly cried foul claiming that regulations meant to protect the public will simply be overturned leaving great uncertainty in the country. That couldn’t be further from the truth. To use the new Chevron case, new litigation challenging offending regulations must be filed and won for anything to change.

FACTS

<< cont from page 12

It is fair to assume that litigation will be forthcoming using Chevron to bring balance back to regulatory authority. The amount of litigation will depend upon the financing available.

Carbon Tax on Agriculture Denmark will be the first nation in the world to institute a carbon tax on cattle.

Dairy farmers are facing an annual tax of 672 krone ($96) per cow for the supposed plant-heating emissions they generate. The new tax is targeted to take place in 2030.

The Danish dairy industry broadly welcomed the agreement and its goals, but it has angered some farmers. Peder Tuborgh, the CEO of Arla Foods, Europe’s largest dairy group, said the agreement was “positive” but that farmers who “genuinely do everything they can to reduce emissions” should not be subjected to a tax.

Just days ago England took a hard left. But France is leaning to the right in its elections.

In Canada, Trudeau stayed in power but his party fell short of a majority.

Who knows where the US will end up, but remember to exercise your vote!

Global Cooling According to an article in the Washington Post, fossil fuel burning has been cooling the planet while it was warming. Tiny particles from the combustion of coal, oil and gas can reflect sunlight and spur the formation of clouds, shading the planet from the sun’s rays.

Since the 1980s, those particles have offset between 40 and 80 percent of the

warming caused by greenhouse gases. And now, as society cleans up pollution, that cooling effect is waning.

New regulations have cut the amount of sulfur aerosols from global shipping traffic across the oceans; China, fighting its own air pollution problem, has slashed sulfur pollution dramatically in the last decade. The result is even warmer temperatures.

Fishy News…

It took nearly 11 years, but the US Fish & Wildlife Service (FWS) has concluded that two unassuming species of fish found in the Rio Grande basin do not warrant federal protections.

Capping a long and litigated journey in which a federal judge had to cut the agency some slack, the FWS determined that neither the Rio Grande chub nor the Rio Grande sucker meet the Endangered Species Act criteria for listing as threatened or endangered species, according to Greenwire.

Letter to the Editor

Dear Citizens of New Mexico and The United States,

I

have held my tongue and pen as long as I can stand. I fought forest fires in the Black Range during the 1960s and ‘70s. Back then we tried to put them out when they were small, and when you had control and not the fires as they do today. It makes me sick when someone says, “It’s only 10 acres or 40 acres and 0 percent contained.”

I understand why they do it, because if you don’t do something, trees, brush and grass will get so thick it will burn. Many fires were already big, we tried to build a fire line around them. They don’t want to sell the trees for lumber or poles or whatever, they try to discourage grazing anyway they can, i.e. introducing wolves, etc.

Several years ago a retired forest ranger and I were talking and I said, “I see all the forest needs a good herd of goats,” and he said, “I agree but the Washington bureaucrats don’t want that.” I think they’re still doing that.

I saw a picture of Ruidoso and I think back to a few years ago when there was a similar situation in California. A young man that grew up close to us, married a young girl and moved to California and bought a small acreage. He always mowed his grass and kept his place clean while the neighbors said they wanted theirs to look natural.

When the fire struck, the town looked like Ruidoso, but his looked fine. I hear the adage defund the police, I think we should defund the Forest Service, but I guess that’s not possible. I talked to some friends several years ago about getting the Forest Service away from the Department of Agriculture,

but they said, “Harvey, that won’t be a good idea because the Forest Service always gets huge allocations and sometimes the only way we get anything for farmers and ranchers is on the shirttail of the Forest Service Appropriations Bill.”

So I guess we have to sit around and watch property burn up and people die until people start demanding better things from local leaders. If we can return to the ways of the past by grazing, cleaning debris, and cutting fire lines immediately, we can return our forests back to healthy havens our future generations can enjoy.

I hear that part of the fire was on the Mes-

calero Apache land. It had been years since I was over there, but at that time they had been and were still logging the big stuff and cleaning up between the trees and it looked beautiful just like ours should look.

At 88 years old sometimes I can’t do much physically. I just sit around and dream of the way I wish things were, so it is up to you younger generations to try to get something done.

Thank you, – Harvey Chatfield Caballo, NM

The fate of Europe’s ban on gas cars could come down to European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen’s efforts to secure a second five-year term: Von der Leyen, who introduced the law, may need the backing of the EU’s climate-minded Greens, who still hold potential leverage despite taking a shellacking at the polls.

Not all automakers are pleased by the prospect of reversing the ban. Volvo’s director of EU affairs, Céline Domecq, told POLITICO’s Jordyn Dahl that the policy change would be “terrible news.”

The situation in the U.S. is similarly murky. The Biden administration has never pushed for a flat-out ban on gasoline-fueled cars, though it has used a mixture of tax breaks and pollution limits to encourage a shift away from them. And lately, it has made Most sizes available for immediate installation some concessions to automakers.

In March, it issued strict pollution limits Most sizes available for immediate installation for light-duty vehicles while offering assurances that the rules leave room for plug-in hybrids and other types of cars that run on Most sizes available for immediate installation gasoline. The administration relaxed a proposal that requires traditional SUVs and Most sizes available for immediate installation pickup trucks to get more miles from each gallon of fuel.

And in New York, Democratic Gov. Kathy Hochul’s last-minute decision to halt the congestion pricing plan threatens to hurt similar efforts across the country. (But it pleased auto dealers, who were throwing her a fundraiser.)

The biggest wild card in the car wars may, of course, be Trump.

The Cowboy Math of Mature Cow Size and Calf Revenue Generated

by Mark Z. Johnson, Oklahoma State University Extension Beef Cattle Breeding Specialist, Cow-Calf Corner

I

recently attended the 2024 Beef Improvement Federation meetings in Knoxville, TN. Interesting topics covered by an excel-

lent panel of speakers from which I pull some information together for this week’s topic.

Did you know? ЇЇ The U.S. cow herd has been steadily increasing in mature weight for several decades. Excess mature weight of cows has several downsides. The focus of this article is its impact on profitability in commercial cow-calf operations. ЇЇ For each 100 head of 1,000 pound cows you could run in your cow-calf operation, the same forage base (and feed input cost) would sustain 71 head of 1,400 pound cows. ЇЇ For each 100 pound increase in mature

weight, cows average approximately 10 more pounds of calf weaning weight produced.

The Cowboy Math For the sake of this article, some assumptions are necessary, these are: ЇЇ the 1,000 pound cows will wean calves weighing 450 pounds ЇЇ a value of $3.00/pound for calf weaning weight ЇЇ a 90 percent calf crop weaned for both groups of cows Therefore, the 100 head of 1,000 pound cows will wean 40,500 pounds of calf pay weight with a total value of $121,500. For example: (100 cows x 90% x 450 pounds x $3 per pound) The 71 head of 1,400 pound cows will wean 64 calves weighing 490 pounds for a total of 31,360 pounds of calf pay weight with a total value of $94,080. (71 cows x 90% rounded up to 64 calves) x 490 (assuming an extra 10 pounds of weaning eight per 100 pounds of mature cow weight) x $3 per pound.

Yes, the Cowboy Math tells us the same forage base and feed cost could result in $27,420 more revenue generated annually.

No, the 490 pound (heavier) weaned calves will not be worth as much per pound as the 450 pound calves. Taking that into account would exaggerate the difference in revenue generated to the advantage of the more moderate size cows.

This fall at weaning I encourage producers to weigh your cows and your calves.

Those measurements can help to determine if excess mature cow weight is robbing profit potential from your operation.

The results of the study are a major blow to the narrative that vegetarian and vegan diets help to lower the risk of cardiovascular diseases.

According to a new UK Biobank study, which analyzed the diets of more than 118,000 participants, scientists found that meat-free “foods” carry a huge risk of heart disease if they are ultra-processed. The study, published in Lancet Regional Health – Europe, notes that this excludes natural produce such as fresh fruit and vegetables.

The participants, aged 40 to 69 years, had their diets assessed over at least two days.

Scientists split food into plant-based products, such as fruit, vegetables, grains, and bread, as well as cakes and candy, and animal-based products such as fish, poultry, red meat, eggs, and dairy. The two groups were then further divided into either u l t r a - p r o c e s s e d f o o d ( U PF ) o r non-ultra-processed.

overall. The scientists noted that UPFs caused a build-up of fatty deposits inside the arteries.

Dr. Eszter Vamos, co-author of the study, from Imperial College London’s School of Public Health, said: “Fresh plant-based foods such as fruits and vegetables, whole grains, and legumes are known to have important health and environmental benefits.

“While ultra-processed foods are often marketed as healthy foods, this large study suggests that plant-based ultra-processed foods do not seem to have protective health effects and are linked to poor health outcomes.”

Food additives and industrial contaminants present in these foods could cause oxidative stress and inflammation, the scientists suggest. They added that nutritional guidelines promoting plant-based diets and cutting down on meat must also promote the importance of avoiding UPFs for good heart health.

Study author Dr. Fernanda Rauber, an expert in preventative medicine from the University of São Paulo in Brazil, said that it’s the first to show that fake “meat” products are associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular diseases.

“Despite being plant-based, these foods may contribute to risk factors such as dyslipidemia and hypertension due to their composition and processing methods,” she said.

“Food additives and industrial contaminants present in these foods might cause oxidative stress and inflammation, further aggravating the risks.

“Therefore, our results support the shift towards plant-based food choices that consider the degree of processing to improve cardiovascular health outcomes.”

The researchers noted that, while the products may appear to be healthy by claiming to be “meat-free,” plant-based,” or “lab-grown,” the fact that they are ultra-processed makes them a threat to public health.

The study comes amid a growing push for the general public to replace traditional meat and dairy products with fake “foods.”

RIDING HERD

by Lee Pitts

Pets Make the Best People “Our perfect companions never have fewer than four feet.” – Colette

I

think I’m growing allergic to people. I never answer door when the nice folks from Jehova’s Witness come around, I hardly ever pick up the phone because I can barely speak above a whisper, my wife has to fetch my prescription drugs for me because I’m fearful of catching something in the drugstore, I can’t stand being in a crowd (a crowd being three or more people), and as Andy Rooney once observed, “I have more friends than I have time to keep.” I also have the problem that I can’t remember anyone’s name. (I engraved a name badge for my wife.)

I wasn’t always a hermit but the COVID

crises changed me. My doctors warned me that if I caught the dreaded disease there was a good chance it would kill me so I avoided people all together. Heck, I wouldn’t even talk to people on the telephone thinking the nasty virus could be carried over telephone or cable wires.

I was always kind of a loner and a recluse anyway who preferred the company of animals and during the two-year COVID crises I relearned something I’ve known all along... pets make the best people.

One of the reasons I like dogs so much is they don’t have cell phones. At least not yet, anyway. Pets don’t invite you to lunch and then spend the entire time staring at their cell phones and then sticking you with the tab. That’s another great thing about pets, like me, they easily get bored with idle conversation. And dogs won’t act like they’re your friend and then try to ransom your computer like one scumbag recently did to me. Maybe a cat might try something like that but never a dog or a duck. Yes, I used to have two pet ducks named Chester and Charley and I miss them terribly. If you can watch a duck or a Berkshire hog go about its daily routine and it doesn’t bring a smile to your face then you are a very hard-hearted person indeed.

Whereas humans have mixed emotions and can love and hate you at the same time, animals can’t do that. They either love you or hate you. Period! And you’ll know right away. They’ll either try to scratch your eyes out or bite your arm off, or they’ll rub up against your leg looking for a gentle pet.

That’s why they’re called ‘pets’.

Pets are apolitical too. At one time I figured all dogs were Republicans and all cats were Democrats or Progressives but I changed my mind when I met a Toy Poodle who was obviously a liberal, always looking for a handout and wouldn’t do a bit of work like a Border Collie or a police dog will do.

I’m quite sure the Toy Poodle was an animal rightist too. So much for my theory that all dogs are Republicans.

I also like the fact that pets can keep a secret. Even though the canaries and parakeets I’ve owned tweeted or twittered non-stop they never spread nasty rumors.

Pets are also very good listeners. You can share your innermost thoughts with them and they don’t charge $500 an hour like a psychiatrist would. I’m carrying around a lot of emotional baggage but I’ve never had to see a shrink for my depression and I attribute that to spending hours and hours on the couch with my pets, not some psycho-doc.

Even my turtle, who I rarely see, has been good for my emotional well-being. We’ve stayed close over the years because we’ve stayed apart.

I’ve never once had a pet ask me to borrow money or my weedwhacker. Pets won’t steal you blind, they’re great at fetching things and even if they know you have no intention of leaving anything to them in your will they’ll still be your loyal friend. They’ll take a hard kick to the head trying to help you corral some cows, they’re the best theft deterrent system ever built and will do everything in their power to protect you. Even though we might make pets sleep outside, or we cage or tether them and perhaps even cook and eat them, pets will still be your best friend right up until their final breath.

Cattle Prices Hold as Global Beef Production Starts to Contract Source: Rabobank

ccording to a recent Rabobank report, cattle prices are expected to maintain their current levels, despite projections that beef production will begin to contract.

Growing demand for climate disclosures is expected to creep into beef supply chains,

presenting both opportunities and risks.

Animal health and disease remain ever-present risks “We continue to monitor the recent transmission of H5N1 avian influenza to dairy cattle, although no cases have been reported in beef herds, and beef food safety remains uncompromised,” says Gidley-Baird. Meanwhile, Brazil recently declared itself free from foot-and-mouth disease without vaccination. Official recognition by world animal health authorities could significantly enhance Brazil’s trade prospects. Furthermore, the presence of avian influenza in Brazil has the potential to disrupt the poultry industry if an outbreak were to occur, indirectly impacting beef prices and exports.

Climate disclosures edge into beef supply chains The global push to combat climate change is bringing greenhouse gas emissions into the spotlight, particularly within the food and agribusiness sector. New regulations are emerging that require companies, including those in the beef industry, to disclose supply chain emissions. Although setting emissions reduction targets is not mandated, these regulated reporting requirements aim to provide investors with a clearer picture of climate-related risks.

The beef industry faces a particular challenge with scope 3 emissions, which are substantial, yet difficult to measure. Scope 3 supply chain emissions represent a significant portion food retailers’ greenhouse gas emissions. Under the reporting regulations, large beef companies will be required to navigate the complexities of collecting and reporting accurate emissions data. “At the farm level, carbon calculators and measurement tools will become important to facilitate a bottom-up approach to measurement,” concludes Gidley-Baird.

Fly That Flag!

n case you have forgotten, or you attend a public school I wanted to remind everyone that Friday June 14, 2024 was officially Flag Day across the country. Flag Day celebrates the history of the United States Flag and is observed because the Second Continental Congress adopted the Stars and Stripes on June 14, 1777.

This is a very historic day as we were not yet a country and there was a price on the head of each member of the Second Continental Congress. The symbolism of the flag is as follows: Red is for valor and bravery, white is for purity and innocence, and blue represents perseverance and justice.

The U.S. Flag Code provides some flag etiquette guidelines for you: The flag may be displayed 24 hours a day when a patriotic effect is desired, and if properly illuminated when it is dark. No other flag or pennant should be above or to the right of the U.S. flag. The flag should never touch anything beneath it such as the ground. It should only

Meat is Essential for Human Health, the Environment and Society, Scientists Declare

record straight based on facts, science, and truth.

The Dublin Declaration: Setting the Record Straight!

stated an article in Beef Central, an Australian industry publication.

The Dublin Declaration is a document resulting from the Summit, created to “give voice to the many scientists around the world who research diligently, honestly and successfully in the various disciplines in order to achieve a balanced view of the future of animal agriculture”.

The Declaration states: “Livestock systems must progress on the basis of the highest scientific standards. They are too precious to society to become the victim of simplification, reductionism or zealotry.” It also specifically warns about the danger of “one-size-fits-all agendas,” and that the drastic reduction in global livestock numbers being pushed by extremist groups will lead to “environmental problems on a large scale.”

The Declaration has been signed by more than 1,000 scientists and experts from around the world.

At last, scientists have begun to push back on the falsehoods perpetuated by those who simply don’t want the overwhelming majority of Americans who enjoy meat to have the freedom of choice to do so. Thankfully, an Source: Protect The Harvest increasing number of scientists and researchver the past few decades, Americans ers are using facts, science, and truth to have been besieged, battered and counter what has been an onslaught of misbullied by those whose ideological information from the anti-livestock and orientation has kept animal protein (i.e. anti-meat crowds, whose claims would make meat) in the crosshairs of anti-meat rhetoric.

disproportionately harm impoverished and developing countries.

Foods produced from livestock have the most abundant and easily absorbable forms of many nutrients. A balanced diet that includes meat, eggs, and dairy products is “advantageous for human beings.”

Livestock are irreplaceable in the overall agriculture cycle, utilizing natural materials that are inedible by humans. This includes both byproducts of crops grown for human consumption and grasses and other forage on lands that are unsuitable for other productive use.

Livestock manure is essential for fertilizing vegetable, fruit, and grain crops, either directly or in the production of specialized fertilizers.

Livestock production creates much more than just consumable products.

Properly managed livestock work to sequester carbon, improve soil and watershed health, and aid in bolstering biodiversity.

The Return to Science and Sanity Regarding Livestock After thousands of years of human evolution and progress, it has only been in the past century that society has become increasingly removed from the reality and vital importance of agriculture overall, and livestock production in particular. That is partly due to advancements in technology that allow today’s farmers and ranchers to produce much more food per capita than a century ago. Further, it has only been in the

most recent decades that the concerted, vicious attacks on animal agriculture have become prominent, primarily in developed nations.

Ireland’s Minister of State at the Department of Agriculture, Martin Heydon, remarked: “So much of what we see and read and consume has been boiled down into sound bites that have been very much simplified. It has never been more important to move forward with an accurate and scientific understanding of meat’s role in society. Consumers need to trust their food and where it comes from. And where does that trust from?

It comes from science.”

It is highly encouraging to see that the proverbial pendulum seems to be swinging back toward reality in regard to livestock and meat consumption. The Dublin Declaration states that: “Livestock is the millennial-long-proven method to create healthy nutrition and secure livelihoods, a wisdom deeply embedded in cultural values everywhere.”

Protect The Harvest strongly agrees with the Dublin Declaration, which is in total agreement with our efforts to protect and promote a free and fed America.

Rangeland Fire Protection Associations Make a Difference

An Idea that’s Catching on around the West

by Heather Smith Thomas

T

he first line of fire defense in many rural areas in eastern Oregon and southern Idaho are the Rangeland Fire Protection Associations (RFPAs). These are

groups of volunteers, mainly ranchers and other landowners, who are trained and authorized to respond to fires in their part of the state. The idea for these groups originated in Oregon in the early 1960s when

ranchers in southern Baker and northern Malheur Counties requested a way to organize, and protect their rangelands from fire.

Allison Rayburn, Rangeland Fire Program Coordinator, Oregon Department of Forestry (ODF) Eastern Oregon Area says the State passed legislation in 1963 to allow landowner firefighter cooperatives to form, giving them legal status to work with federal and state agencies. The Ironside RFPA was the first one formed, in 1964.

“There are other ways to create organizations and nonprofit groups to fight fires, but being authorized by state statute allows RFPAs to be incorporated into the fire protection system,” Rayburn says. Oregon was the first to do this, then Idaho followed in 2012, and more recently Nevada.

This concept is gaining ground in other states as well. Elizabeth Foster is CEO of the New Mexico Farm and Livestock Bureau, and is interested in getting RFPAs going in New Mexico. Foster grew up on a cow-calf ranch in Post, Oregon, and joined the New Mexico Farm and Livestock Bureau after 20 years with Arizona Farm Bureau.

“Right before I started my position with New Mexico, the 2022 Calf Canyon-Hermits Peak Fire destroyed many homes and buildings—about 1400 structures. The entire community is still struggling to get back on their feet,” says Foster.

This was the largest and most destructive wildfire in the history of New Mexico, up to that point, burning 341,471 acres. The Hermits Peak fire started April 6 when a controlled burn conducted by the Forest Service escaped its boundaries, with high winds. The Hermits Peak Fire then merged with the Calf Canyon Fire to create a massive blaze that was not contained for nearly three months.

“Even though that fire started on Forest Service property, it eventually affected a lot of rangeland as well. I envision RFPAs as a potential resource that would be helpful, and plan to have a discussion with our county president in July.

“Depending on how many members attend, we may possibly talk again in November about starting some RFPAs. It takes some state legislation, so we would have to go through that process first, to authorize these associations,” says Foster.

“If there is enough interest, we will take it to the legislature. The way New Mexico’s legislature works—next year we will have a 60-day session in which any bills can be introduced. That would be the time to do it,

She feels there will be interest, and that Farm and Livestock Bureau members would benefit. “We are not sure how many of our members are impacted right now, from the fires near Ruidoso; the fire that started very recently has surpassed Hermit’s Peak as the largest fire in state history.

“My thought is that even if a fire starts on Forest Service land, it may spread to BLM or private property. We had a fire on our ranch in Oregon that started on Forest Service and then moved onto private land. My dad was aware of some of the fires that started from lightning strikes that were put out by local

For instance my dad did an spread out over a much larger area. In the EQIP program (Environmental Quality Post-Paulina RFPA people are spread out

over more than 50 miles. People in Paulina are 55 miles from Prineville, and it would take at least 30 minutes for someone to come from Prineville to the Post area. It was 50 to 75 miles of territory to try to cover,” she says.

In the days before cell phones, members had a phone tree to alert everyone about a fire. “You had a person you called, and they had people they called, so everyone was alerted. Now they have a text group and can send text messages.”

The communication and coordination enables these ranchers to get onto a fire quickly and often have it put out or under control by the time federal firefighters (BLM, Forest Service) can get there.

“I think it’s a great program, but not enough of the rural areas of the West are aware of it. This is why I want to have this

conversation with our members here in New Mexico. It will take some effort to get these associations established, and might take coordination between the New Mexico Cattle Growers and our New Mexico Farm and Livestock Bureau.

“I see the value in it, and I am hoping our members will see the value; this would just be a matter of getting all the pieces in line.

If we have the cattle growers, our bureau and a few of our other ag organizations pushing the legislation through the state, so we can start these RFPAs, it could happen,” she says.

“We had the American Farm Bureau Safety Coordinators here in April and I presented this program at that time. I also have a good relationship with the Idaho Farm Bureau. The end of July we have a western Region Administrators conference and I will

visit with them, also. I don’t know if Washington State’s administrator is familiar with the RFPA program because he only came on board 18 months ago, from Virginia.” The more this concept can spread around the West, the better.

Each RFPA can be set up to accommodate a specific area and the people. “They can be set up by county or by communities. Our ranch in Oregon ended up being in the RFPA that serviced part of our local country.

Growing up, we simply referred to it as the upper country; it was that half of the county,” says Foster.

New Mexico would probably pattern RFPAs after some of the ones in Oregon and Idaho but create them to fit the unique aspects of each region. Some small towns have fire departments and some also have a

rural volunteer fire department.

“They might decide to create an RFPA covering two counties together because they are similar or the area of concern is in between established towns that have resources available within their city limits.

The RFPAs could help with the areas outside the city limits,” she explains.

“The advantage to having a rural community forming these groups is that if there’s a fire, like a lightning strike that starts a fire on or near your property, you know the best and easiest access routes.

“Your neighbors may also know the best way in, whereas a volunteer firefighter from town, or firefighters from the government agencies, may not know how to get there.”

Even if the fire starts on private land, if it is not dealt with quickly, it might grow and spread onto public lands. The RFPA members can often be there quickly and get it put out or have it contained—and keep it small before it gets away—by the time Forest Service or BLM firefighters can get there.

“This is why I want to see if there is interest in our agricultural communities and rural areas of New Mexico. I saw the RFPA as a great resource in the community I grew up in. These folks rely on each other, and agriculture has always been an industry where

people step in and help a neighbor. Some people think that’s rare nowadays but we still continue to help each other. I think we need to have this discussion to see if an RFPA would fit within the needs of our communities,” she says.

“It may not fit every community or every rural part of the state, but may benefit some folks and may be able to stop/prevent large fires in the future. There is opportunity here and I am not sure if our rural communities are aware of this rural fire protection program.” In the areas where RFPAs have been in existence in Oregon and Idaho, they have made a big difference.

“I work for the New Mexico Farm and Livestock Bureau but all of us are in positions to help all of agriculture. I feel it would be a disservice to my members and the communities that we represent at the state level if we didn’t share all the opportunities to protect and improve and offer solutions for problems—and fire has become a more common and bigger problem than it was in the past.”

Fire is a serious threat to property, livestock, homes and human lives “When I’d come home from college we’d visit with the neighbors and talk about various fires and their RFPA. I remember my dad saying they had a fire one night but were able to put it

out, or the following people showed up and helped, etc. That was how it worked.”

She also remembers coming home from town late one night and there was a fire on one side of the highway and another fire on the other side, up in the mountains. “In the dark it was hard to tell how close they were.

Everyone in our area was right in the middle of those fires. At that point in time we didn’t have the RFPA yet and had to wait for Forest Service and BLM firefighters to show up,” says Foster.

“I remember staying awake all night wondering if we were going to get a phone call telling us to evacuate. In my mind I was trying to think of what I would grab and take if we had to get out of there in a hurry.

“At daylight we could see that the fire on our side of the highway was farther up in the mountains, but it impacted us—and burned up the summer grazing for many of the ranches around us.”

After an RFPA is formed, the ranchers have the authority and ability to work on these fires as first responders and can then coordinate with the agencies to work together to contain the larger ones.

Preserve.

Three different outfits – WildEarth About 1.2 million years ago a volcanic Guardians, Western Watershed Project, and eruption created a 14-mile wide circle-shaped Caldera Action - have filed suit against the depression in the earth, which became Forest Service and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife referred to as the Valles Caldera. The area Service for violating the Endangered Species been through quite a few phases, but most Act. recently it has gone from private ownership, The suit says the preserve is home to to federal ownership managed by a trust, to several threatened and endangered species, now being under control of the National Park including the Mexican Spotted Owl, Jemez Service.

Mountain salamander, and New Mexico That wasn’t enough for the enviros and meadow jumping mouse. The complaint says, now they want to have less grazing on the “Historic livestock overgrazing degraded Forest Service allotments abutting the these species’ habitats, and only since the National Park Service assumed responsibility for the area and curtailed livestock use have these species returned to the preserve.”

They also claim that each summer, “hundreds of cattle from the National Forest unlawfully trespass onto the Preserve, causing severe resource damage and harming these protected species and their habitats.”

Continuing, it claims the U.S. Forest Service “has long been aware of the ongoing livestock trespass and its substantial impacts on both the Preserve and the listed species and their habitats.” Further, it says the Forest Service, “has never consulted with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service regarding these well-known effects of its grazing program as required by the ESA.” It also chastises the Forest Service because it has not, “taken adequate measures to prevent this recurring and foreseeable livestock trespass.”

Can you guess their proposed remedy?

Sure you can, but here it is officially from the suit: “…this Court (1) declare that the Forest Service and FWS have violated the ESA…(2) declare that the Forest Service has further violated the ESA by causing unlawful take of threatened and endangered species, failing to ensure that its actions do not jeopardize such species, and failing to take necessary steps to conserve such species; (3) vacate any existing Marketing Bulls & Replacement Females AOIs for the Allotments; (4) enjoin the Forest Service from authorizing grazing on the Allotments until the agency fully complies with the ESA.” We are probably heading for a situation like they have in the Gila National Forest.

Livestock grazing has been completely eliminated in the Gila Wilderness. And according to research by John Fowler at NMSU the allotments which abut the wilderness have received larger cuts in their permits than all the other allotments in the Gila. That could Daric & Patty Knight very well be the model they are attempting

made up of other ranchers’ cattle, and soon enough Ben Horrell was killed by the Lincoln town marshal, Juan Martinez. In retaliation, the other brothers shot up a wedding dance and killed four men and wounded one woman, all of them Hispanic. Local law was inept and the Horrells escaped to Texas after they killed several additional Hispanic farmers. Texas didn’t want them, either. By 1878, all of them but one were dead. Only Sam, the eldest, lived to old age.

The Lincoln County war produced a couple of noteworthy criminal gangs. John Kinney (1847-1919) participated in the war and afterwards gathered a gang which stole cattle all over southern New Mexico. Their thievery was so egregious that one newspaper reported that they were “running off oxen of farmers in the Mesilla Valley so they cannot plow and the country is a wasteland.”

Major Albert Jennings Fountain (1838-1896) was charged with capturing the rustlers, which he did by 1883. Kinney himself was sentenced to seven years in prison, of which he served three. He ran a feed lot in Prescott, Arizona after his release, and remained respectable. He died of Bright’s disease. He was never prosecuted for any of the murders he is alleged to have committed.

John Selman (1839-1896) was a member of Kinney’s gang before he and his brother, Tom—often called Tom Cat—started their own bunch. They were rustlers, rapists and killers and were called the “Raslers.” The origin of that name is not known although some think it was derived from “Rustlers.”

Selman f led to Mexico rather than face justice in New Mexico. When he returned to El Paso some years later, he became a lawman.

It was he who killed famous killer John Wesley Hardin in 1895. He was himself killed by another lawman, George Scarborough, a year later.

The Kit Joy gang, four strong, is only known to have committed a single crime; the robbery of a train near Gage, New Mexico in November 1883. They were not particularly good at it and managed to kill the train’s engineer before they fled. They were soon arrested and jailed at Silver City only to escape in March 1884. The posse that pursued them was in no mood to tolerate such behavior. When the dust settled, three

The New Mexico Beef Council was well represented at NM Indian Livestock Days, May 15-17 at the Route 66 Hotel & Casino which attracted 175+ attendees. In addition to sponsoring a break, the NMBC was one of 18 vendors. NMBC Secretary, Marjorie Lantana and NMBC BQA Specialist, Sonja Jo Serna distributed beef educational materials covering topics as diverse as the Beef Checkoff, Environmental Sustainability, recipes and antibiotic use in cattle.

John Wenzel, DVM, NM State University, provided Beef Quality Assurance (BQA) Certification training to all attendees, followed by testing for those wanting to pursue BQA Certification. The NMBC’s presence at NM Indian Livestock Days provided valuable assistance and resources for producers.

Several in attendance were certified in Farmington during last year’s conference and took the opportunity to learn more about accessing online resources through the National BQA Learning Center. Certified producers also qualified for continuing education credits toward their NM BQA Certification.

The New Mexico BQA Certification program has been supported by Beef Checkoff funds since its inception. The program is coordinated

by NM State University to provide training and continuing education opportunities for beef ranchers and farmers.

New Mexico Beef Council & ProStart Celebrating Another Successful Year

The New Mexico Beef Council (NMBC) has wrapped up another successful year in partnership with ProStart, a high school culinary program sponsored by the New Mexico Restaurant Association. The NMBC provides beef education programs and learning resources to the culinary instructors and students throughout the school year. Classroom education includes teaching the students about preparing and merchandising beef and how beef is sustainably produced.

In addition to the training, the NMBC has established a Beef Grant Program that provides a reimbursement of $1,000 per school for beef purchases used for culinary instruction purposes.

New Mexico schools apply in the Fall and are required to submit beef instruction curriculum, along with receipts for the beef purchases at the end of the school year. The beef is used for classroom teaching and student culinary competitions between NM schools and at the national competition held in Washington, DC. Thirty-one New Mexico schools applied for the grant in the 2023-24 school year, totaling nearly $15,000 in grants awarded by the end of the school year. “The culinary teachers are wildly appreciative of the beef grant program enabling them to offer hands-on beef cooking experiences for their students,” said Patty Waid, NMBC Education Specialist.

Travis Torres, Farmington High School, Culinary Teacher said, “The recurring theme was that students went into the unit intimidated of steak and beef prep, but found they needed more time and effort to prepare a potato!”

Culinary Teacher, Amanda Holguin of Gadsden High School said, “As a second-time user of September the grant, I am thrilled to witness the continued impact it has had on our culinary program and 5-15 New Mexico State Fair students’ educational experiences. The support provided through this grant has enabled us to Albuquerque, NM expand and enhance our kitchen curriculum, offering students valuable opportunities for hands-on learning and skill development. The grant-funded activities have been met with nmbeef.com/events enthusiasm and positivity from students, who have expressed appreciation for the engaging and interactive learning experiences provided. They have demonstrated a genuine passion for cooking and a willingness to explore new ingredients and techniques which is a testament to the success of the grant-funded initiatives. Furthermore, the grant has strengthened our school’s culinary program and positioned it as a leader in culinary education within the community.The resources and support provided through the grant have allowed us to offer high-quality culinary instruction and innovative learning opportunities that prepare students for future success in the culinary industry or related fields. Overall, as a second-time user of this grant, I am grateful for the opportunity to continue enriching our students’ educational experiences through hands-on culinary learning and exploration. The positive feedback and outcomes resulting from the grant-funded activities reaffirm the value and importance of investing in culinary education and empowering students to pursue their culinary passions.”

Jessica McGee, Culinary Teacher at Santa Fe High School, stated that “Students don’t often have beef at home because it is costly, but it is often the meat that is most requested. It is nice to be able to offer cooking experiences for them that they may not otherwise have. Thanks so much for your support in these units! Beef recipes really are the ones the students love the best!”

With precision and teamwork, ProStart students from Volcano Vista (Fig. 1 & 2) and Maxwell High School (Fig. 3 & 4), kick off their culinary adventure by prepping a chuck roast to prepare “Braised Beef & Mushrooms.”

OLD TIMES << cont from page 48 of them were dead: one shot to death and two others lynched. Only Joy escaped. He was captured in November 1884. He was shot in the leg by a posse member and the wound was so severe that his leg was amputated.

Sentenced to life in prison, he was pardoned in 1896. He died in 1936.

Vicente Silva (1845-1893) operated the Imperial saloon in Las Vegas, New Mexico.

By the late 1880s, he was the boss of a large gang of robbers and rustlers called La Sociedad de Bandidos de Nuevo Mexico (the Society of Bandits of New Mexico) while he kept up his respectable appearance. For several years the gang pillaged almost at will.

They made the mistake of stealing cattle from rancher José Esquibel who took grave exception to the thievery. Esquibel and his son found their cattle and swore out a warrant for the arrest of Silva. Silva fled but the warrant was the beginning of the end for him. The gang turned against member Patricio Maes whom they accused of betrayal and hanged him from the bridge in Las Vegas.

Then Silva murdered his brother-in-law for some imagined treachery and finally he killed his own wife for the same reason.

Gang member Antonio Valdez shot Silva in the head and killed him in May of 1893.

Bronco Bill Walters, Red Pipkin, and Kid Johnson robbed a train near Belen in 1898 and got away with about $50,000. Much of it was in silver dollars and thus the stolen money was too heavy for them to carry, and they were obliged to bury some of it. They managed to kill two sheriff’s deputies and a posse man as the f led west. They were tracked to eastern Arizona where Kid Johnson was killed in a gunfight with lawmen and though severely wounded, Walters was arrested. He served nearly twenty years in prison and was never able to find his buried loot. He died when he fell off a windmill near Deming. Pipkin escaped the gunfight in Arizona and later went to prison on an unrelated charge. Later he became a security guard and reserve deputy sheriff near Gallup before he committed suicide in 1937.

The last entry on this list is the so-called High Fives Gang. The name is said to have been derived from a card game popular at the time. The group had a changing membership as they managed to make a nuisance of themselves in southern New Mexico. They were generally unsuccessful as thieves in attempting to rob banks, stagecoaches, and trains. But on November 6, 1897, they hit it big. Only four members of the gang remained

alive: George Musgrave, his brother, Vin, Bob Christian and Sid Moore. They stopped a train near Grants, New Mexico, and managed to make off with $90,000 in the single largest haul taken in a 19th century train robbery. Three of the robbers were never captured. Many historians believe they made it to Mexico where they disappeared from recorded history. George Musgrave wasn’t charged with the robbery but was arrested for an unrelated murder and acquitted in 1907. He his known to have been in South America by 1912 and he died in 1947.

As a footnote: Robert Leroy Parker, AKA Butch Cassidy, and members of his Wild

Bunch hid out at the WS Ranch near Alma, New Mexico, in the late 1890s. Cassidy is not know to have committed a crime while in the territory, but some members of his gang— Sam Ketchum, Elza Lay, and Harvey Logan—robbed a train near Folsom, New Mexico, on July 11, 1899. In the gunfight that followed, Ketchum was wounded and captured and soon died in the territorial prison; Sheriff Ed Farr of Colorado and cowboy/ posse man Henry Love were also killed.

All in all, gang membership wasn’t a profitable avocation. We’ll consider a few other gangs in a future column.

US Imports of Australian Beef Up Dramatically From A Year Ago

A

ustralian exports of beef to the United States have soared in the last 12 months, hitting 31,294 tons in May. Compared to the same month a year ago, that sum is 74 percent higher, according to global supply analyst Tim Jackson of Meat & Livestock Australia, a checkoff group for the country’s red meat producers.

“Australian exports to the US have been consistently high this year,” he said.

Australian farmers have also gained beef market share in Japan and South Korea largely at the expense of U.S. exporters, Jackson said.

Australia’s global beef exports last month were up 9 percent from April and 25 percent from May 2023, hitting 113,923 tons — the highest level in more than four years. “US declines in production are now having a noticeable impact on export flows,” Jackson said.

He noted that near-record highs in Brazilian beef production were eating into Australia’s exports to China.

Similar to beef, record Australian exports of lamb and goat were led by gains in the U.S. market, which remains the largest destination for both meats from Down Under.

Meanwhile, U.S. pork exports to Australia have soared in the last year, regaining market share that was previously lost to the European Union, a result of spillovers from wide swings in Chinese demand due to African Swine Fever (ASF).

Western Governors Elect New Leadership

T

o close out the 2024 Annual Meeting of the Western Governors’ Association (WGA), Wyoming Governor Mark Gordon handed over the reins as Chair of the Association to New Mexico Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham and announced the election of Utah Governor Spencer Cox as WGA’s new Vice Chair.

As Chair, Governor Lujan Grisham said that her WGA Chair initiative will focus on housing.

“Too many working-class families lack access to housing that meets their needs, and it diminishes quality of life and threatens our vibrant economic growth,” said Governor Lujan Grisham. “We are laser focused on removing obstacles, reducing development costs, and putting new resources and public land in play to deliver this badly needed housing.”

Governor Cox, who is currently wrapping up a Chair initiative at the National Governors Association entitled Disagree Better, said he is eager to continue highlighting the importance of bipartisanship alongside Governor Lujan Grisham.

“I’m excited to join Governor Lujan Grisham as Vice Chair of the Western Governors’ Association,” said Governor Spencer Cox. “Governors engage in practical politics, and I look forward to working on solutions with my fellow governors on the challenges we face in the West.”

Springfield Armory’s “Trapdoor Rifles” History, Evolution and Production

A

t the end of the War Between the States, the U.S. Government had over one million single-shot, muzzle-loading .58 caliber muskets of the Springfield variety.

While many of these were still serviceable, wartime experience had shown that muzzle-loaders were becoming obsolete. Loading them was difficult, and repeated firing made them even harder to load. Soldiers frequently failed to load them properly in the heat of battle, causing the weapon to malfunction.

By this time, most European armies had already adopted breech loading arms due to these defects. After the war, the U.S. faced the possibility of conflict with France, which had installed a puppet government in Mexico while the U.S. was distracted by the Civil War. Many Americans believed war would be necessary to dislodge the French-backed Emperor Maximilian. However, a postwar administration was still reluctant to scrap large numbers of usable weapons and initiate a costly replacement program, so the Ordnance Department was directed to convert the existing muzzle-loaders to a breech-loading arm.

for a cartridge weapon, so in 1866, the rifle was redesigned and converted to .50 caliber, and the new cartridge was center-fire instead of rim-fire. The Model 1866 made its battle debut on July 31, 1867, in the famous “Wagon Box Fight” near Fort Phil Kearney in the Wyoming Territory. Here, 28 soldiers and four civilians under the command of Major Powell held off repeated attacks by Chief Red Cloud’s vastly superior force, demonstrating the value of these new breech-loaders.

In 1868 and again in 1870, under the influence of Major J.G. Benton, the new commanding officer of Springfield Armory, further improvements were made. The caliber remained at .50, but new barrels were made, rather than relining the old muzzle-loader barrels. Surplus Civil War parts continued to be used on the remainder of the weapon however. The Model 1870 was similar to the 1868, except for a few minor modifications such as a shortened receiver and a changed rear sight. In 1869, a cadet version was also introduced.

Model 1873 “Trapdoor” Rifle Major changes took place in 1873, based on the recommendations of the Ordnance Board under Brig. Gen. A.H. Terry. The resulting Model 1873 saw the caliber reduced and Springfield Armory produced the entire

weapon from new parts. The new cartridge adopted was the .45-70, meaning it was a .45 caliber backed by 70 grains of black powder (the bullet weighed in at 405 grains). As with most other 19th-century Springfield arms, the Model 1873 was produced in three variations: a rifle (overall length 52 inches) for foot soldiers; a carbine (41 inches) for mounted troops; and a “cadet rif le” (49 inches) for use by cadets.

Continuing Evolution: Models 1879 and 1884 Continuing gradual improvements in the basic trapdoor design led to new model designations in 1879 and 1884. Because of changes, as well as later repairs and modifications, it is often difficult to find two trapdoors exactly alike, even though the operating mechanism remained essentially the same. The Model 1884 was also designed to handle the newer .45-70 (500 grain cartridge)—the same as used in the Gatling Gun. This heavier bullet provided for more complete combustion of powder in the barrel and packed a little more wallop.

The Final Model: 1888 The final model of the famous “.45-70 Trapdoor” series, was the Model 1888. It had a distinguishing feature of a combination

The Allin Conversion The system selected for conversion was a relatively simple one developed by Erskine S. Allin, the Master Armorer of Springfield Armory. This conversion consisted of removing the top portion of the rear of the barrel and replacing it with a hinged breech block, soon nicknamed the “Trapdoor.” Five thousand Model 1865 conversions were produced utilizing the older muskets and retaining their .58 caliber. This basic “Trapdoor” design lasted more than 25 years, with some modifications along the way.

The .58 caliber was considered too large JULY 2024

The End of an Era The Springfield Model 1873 “Trapdoor” had been the standard issue long arm of all U.S. Cavalry units from 1874 to 1896. The end of the era came in 1892, with the U.S. Government adopting a bolt-action repeating rifle known as the Krag-Jorgensen which gradually replaced the old “Trapdoor” rifles.

Many units however, carried their old .45-70s into the Spanish-American War of 1898, marking this the last time they saw official action.

Role in History The Springfield “Trapdoor” rifle, despite being largely outdated in both propellant and loading system even before the government adopted them, remain highly desirable in collector circles to this day. Their unique loading system, numerous varieties, and aesthetically pleasing, yet simple components, make them a cherished part of U.S. Military history. Somewhere around 600,000 units were produced during the second half of the 19th century, serving the army well during a colorful (and often controversial) period of American history, spanning from just after the Civil War through the closing of the Frontier era.

Livestock Grazing to Prevent Wildfires

Source: Protect The Harvest

I

n recent years, wildfires devastated rural land across the United States. From California to the Texas Panhandle, the adverse impact has been significant. Those who have researched remedies have proposed a simple fix to reduce wildfire risk: grazing. More specifically, they have identified targeted livestock grazing to reduce the amount of f l a m m a ble or g a n ic m at e r i a l on pastureland.

Over time, many studies have been produced that recommend a variety of options to reduce the amount and severity of wildfires. They include prescribed burns, chemical treatments, and mechanical treatments, according to a USDA article on targeted grazing. Each option has downsides.

According to the same USDA article, these methods can be costly and hard to maintain.

Livestock grazing is a sustainable, cost-effective, and proven tool to both lower the risk of wildfires and reduce the impact when they do occur. Livestock grazing accomplishes these goals by slowing the spread of the flames and controlling the temperature of the fire due to reduced organic fuel, according to an article from Beef Magazine titled “Studies Demonstrate How Cattle Grazing Reduces Wildfire Risk”. Simply, livestock graze down annual and perennial grasses, promoting new growth and reducing dead underbrush, which acts as fuel for rangeland fires.

Lowering Risk and Reducing Impact In the United States, livestock grazing, specifically by cattle, is critical to mitigating the increasing numbers of wildfires. A study titled “Cattle Grazing Reduces Fuel and Leads to More Manageable Fire Behavior” shared that without cattle grazing, there would be “hundreds or possibly thousands” of additional pounds per acre of fuel on rangelands, which could ultimately result in larger and more devastating fires.

There is a fairly simple solution to this problem according to the same article: “A strategic grazing program would target

New Mexico Livestock Board Outlines Need for Fee Increase

I

n a presentation at the 2024 Mid-Year Convention, the New Mexico Livestock Board (NMLB) laid out the need for fee increases.

Although NMLB has utilized its resources to continue to build on this platform to meet the traceability needs of New Mexico, there has not been a fee increase since 2002, according to the presentation.

The increasing differential between the cost of the continued upgrades for the traceability inspection program and the fees that are charged, have resulted in the NMLB becoming more reliant on State General funds to close

O

the gap between expenses and revenues.

General funds cannot be relied on as a stable revenue source.

The statutory cap limits have all been met and the NMLB has no way to increase fees without a statutory change.

Current statute allows for an increase in fees of no more than $.1O per year for all livestock except sheep and goats.

Sheep and goats are limited to $.04 per year.

No new fees were proposed. The NMLB plans on future discussions on the need for an increase and whether to raise them in statute..

Solve the Housing Crisis By Selling Government Land

by William Perry Pendley, Washington Examiner

I

t surprises most people outside the American West to learn that fully one-third of the nation’s land mass is owned by the federal government. It is much more than that in some states: over 80 percent of Nevada is federally owned as is over 60 percent of Alaska, Idaho, and Utah. Even in Western states where federal landownership is 50 percent or less, federal lands may comprise 70 percent, 80 percent, and 90 percent of rural counties.

Setting aside the lengthy and complex constitutional, statutory, and historical process that got us to this point and whether, on a grand scale, we should change that ownership pattern, one question worthy of concern given current events is whether, on a case-by-case basis, we should dispose of or sell any of that federal land? Specifically at issue are the 245 million acres of land — 10 percent of the nation’s land — overseen by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) from within the Department of the Interior.

Thus, not subject to discussion are the national parks or “pleasuring-ground[s] for the benefit and enjoyment of the people” (80 million acres), congressionally designed wilderness areas “where man himself is a visitor who does not remain” (112 million acres), and national monuments established by Congress or by presidential edict that protect and preserve “archeological sites, historic landmarks, historic and prehistoric structures, and other objects of historic or scientific interest” (19 million acres).

Although the US Forest Service (USFS) in the Department of Agriculture manages 193 million acres compared to the BLM’s 245 million acres, its lands were set aside specifically, early on via presidential decree and then designated by Congress as national forests to promote water resources, for timber harvesting, and, later, recreation.

Since 1960, Forest Service lands have been managed by federal law for “multiple use and sustained yield,” as have BLM lands, which include mining, grazing, oil and gas, and recreation, among others.

It is worth noting that the Biden administration has ended “multiple use” of most BLM lands in favor of preservation, which has drawn lawsuits from Western attorneys general.

Unlike USFS land, BLM lands comprise a hodgepodge of remainder land that was not designated specifically by Congress, not transferred through federal land acquisition statutes, such as the Homestead Act and General Mining Act of 1872, and thus left over when Congress ended the land disposal era with passage of the Federal Land Policy and Management Act. One example of such BLM lands is the checkerboard tracts intermingled with private land across southern Wyoming, the subject of public access litigation argued at the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 10th Circuit in Denver, Colorado, last May. Like those largely inaccessible tracts in Wyoming, the BLM is saddled with millions of acres of land that are isolated, difficult to access, expensive to manage, and not supportive of the purpose for which they were acquired or retained. Congress recognized that fact in 1976 when it passed FLPMA, also known as the BLM Organic Act. Thus, during its land-use management process, the BLM may identify such tracts if they “serve important public objectives, including but not limited to, expansion of communities and economic development” for sale at fair market value.

A planned sale of more than 2,500 acres must be submitted to Congress, which may veto the proposal. Yet another federal law permits the BLM to sell qualified tracts from the land-use planning process but allows retention of the proceeds of those sales to acquire nonfederal lands, “specifically inholdings, lands adjacent to federal lands that contain exceptional resources, and areas adjacent to inaccessible lands that are open to recreation.”

Surprisingly, in late February, Representative Ryan Zinke (R-MT), secretary of the interior under former President Donald Trump, introduced bipartisan legislation to restrict the federal government’s authority to dispose of its lands, “Public lands must remain public, and the federal government has a responsibility to manage and ensure access to those lands.” Because his bill is limited to tracts larger than 300 acres that are “publicly accessible via road, trail, easement or waterway,” and includes a dozen exclusions, how it will affect the BLM’s existing land disposal authority is unknown.

Days after Zinke’s announcement, Governor Joe Lombardo (R-NV) struck the opposite tone with a letter to President Joe Biden demanding the Biden administration “release” federal land to permit more housing development in a state where 85 percent of the land is owned by the federal government.

Ninety percent of Clark County, home to Las Vegas and nearly three-quarters of Nevada’s residents, is owned by the federal government, almost all by the BLM. The hardship such a lopsided federal/ private landowners pattern imposed on Nevada has long been recognized. In 1980, the Santini-Burton Act authorized disposal of vast acreage in Clark County to permit Las Vegas to grow, the proceeds from which was used for land conservation projects. That program was expanded greatly with enactment in 1998 of the Southern Nevada Public Land Management Act. Over two and a half decades, SNPLMA generated over $4 billion in revenue for conservation and public service projects and permitted privately owned land to sustain homes, schools, and businesses. Nonetheless, logjams remain.

Hence, Lombardo demanded Biden slash “bureaucratic red tape” to address the housing crisis that is facing Nevada, its local communities, and residents. “The federal process for privatizing land for development is too slow, too complex, and contributes to higher costs for Nevada families seeking homeownership.” As bad as the Biden housing crisis is nationwide, as “Bidenomics” prices young people out of homeownership, how much worse must it be in Nevada where almost no private land is available to the public?

Last year, Trump recognized the situation with his call for 10 “freedom cities” on undeveloped federal land: “These freedom cities will reopen the frontier, reignite American imagination, and give hundreds of thousands of young people and other people, all hardworking families, a new shot at homeownership and in fact, the American dream.”

That certainly must be music to the ears of Lombardo, Nevadans, and other Westerners who find their way to a better future impeded unnecessarily by vast swaths of federal land largely unused, unnecessary, and exorbitantly expensive to maintain.

Moreover, I don’t think Zinke will object.

After all, his bill recognizes the success of the Nevada land sale laws and exempts them from his ban on federal land sales.

USDA Mounts First-Ever Trade Mission for Tribal Products As Meat Grants Advance

by Frank Fuhrig, meatingplace.com

A

U.S. delegation was in Canada this week in the first-ever trade mission focused on cultivating export markets for products from tribal and native Hawaiian businesses.

The trade mission follows USDA announcement in early June of $42.5 million in grants under the Indigenous Animals Harvesting and Meat Processing Grant Program. Since the grants were issued, tribes have announced detailed plans for projects to boost meat processing.

Alexis Taylor, USDA under secretary for

trade and foreign agricultural affairs, held meetings this week in Vancouver, where she called the trade mission a “turning point” for tribes. She was accompanied by 14 tribal agribusinesses, agricultural leaders from 13 Native Nations, Intertribal Agriculture Council Board President Harlan Beaulieu and state officials from Maine, Minnesota, North Carolina and Oregon.

“This historic trade mission showcasing products from tribal and native Hawaiian producers is long overdue, and Canada couldn’t be a better host country,” Taylor said. “Indigenous nations on both sides of the border share strong historical connections to their lands, trading networks and agricultural practices.”

USDA is seeking “the restoration of vital trading networks” for indigenous communities’ agricultural resources, with the potential to boost incomes, she said, The Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes of Pablo, Mont., received a federal grant worth $7.7 million to build a bison, elk

Four different conservation categories are researched through CPAMS overall: crop practices, confined livestock practices, grazing practices and forestry practices. This year, NASS will survey grazing practices and forestry practices. Crop practices and confined livestock practices were surveyed in 2022.

The grazing sample respondents are randomly selected from NASS records of operations that meet the grazing land criteria. The forestry sample respondents are determined by the USDA Forest Service area frame determination of wood or forest landowners.

“By responding to CPAMS, you can help shape the future of conservation, agriculture, and forestry,” said NASS Administrator Joseph L. Parsons. “With better data to help us understand how conservation fits into existing agriculture and forest management operations, program resources can be focused on where they will be most effective.

I encourage everyone who receives a CPAMS questionnaire to respond.”

Previous CPAMS data are available on the Highlights page of the NASS website. For more information, visit nass.usda.gov/go/CPAMS. For help with the CPAMS questionnaire, call 888-424-7828.

State Wildlife Action Plan for New Mexico Topic of Public Meetings D V E RT I S E

in the New Mexico Stockman.

Call: 505/243-9515.

T

he New Mexico Department of Game and Fish is holding two public meetings to discuss the 10-year review and revision of the State Wildlife Action Plan for New Mexico (SWAP). The SWAP revision process was initiated in May 2023 and presented at the State Game Commission meeting on Aug. 25, 2023. The final revision is due to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service

by Oct. 1, 2025.

The SWAP identifies Species of Greatest Conservation Need (SGCN), their habitats, threats, and conservation actions that can be taken to mitigate these threats and benefit SGCN. Part of the revision process is to review and update the SGCN list to reflect the latest scientific information. The draft SGCN list and slides to be presented during the public meetings will be posted on the Department’s website and available for review by June 28, 2024.

The two hybrid public meetings will open with a 30-minute presentation on the SWAP review and revision process and progress made to date. The remainder of the meetings will be open for public comment from both in-person and virtual audiences.

To gather public comments, two hybrid public meetings have been scheduled for the following dates and locations: ЇЇ July 29, 2024: Albuquerque, 6-7:30 p.m.

7816 Alamo Rd. NW, Albuquerque, New Mexico ЇЇ July 30, 2024: Las Cruces, 6-7:30 p.m.

2715 E. Northrise Dr., Las Cruces, New Mexico Comments on the SWAP revision process can be provided by email, dgf-SWAP@dgf. nm.gov, or in person at one of the meetings listed above.

These topics will also be discussed at State Game Commission meetings on Aug. 9, 2024, and in spring and summer 2025.

Block Ranch 49,194± Total Acres

|

$41,559,900

|

Lincoln County, New Mexico

The Block Ranch contains 48,894± deeded acres and is located in an area of Southeastern New Mexico that is highly recognized for having outstanding livestock grazing throughout the more open native grass portions of the country, with wooded areas offering excellent wildlife habitat. The current owner has spent considerable money updating water infrastructure, eradicating invading brush, and has recently built a beautiful owner’s home on the property. The terrain of the Block Ranch consists of a combination of rolling piñon/juniper country with scattered ponderosa pines and live oak trees, transitioning to open grama grass prairies. Rolling and hilly, very productive open pastureland is generally found in northern pastures on the ranch. The open grazing areas generally have a solid turf of very palatable native grasses, such as grama, western wheat, along with some side oats and bluestem varieties. The southern portion of the ranch generally becomes a bit more rocky, more broken, and steeper with a moderate to sometimes dense canopy of juniper and piñon.

Overall, it is estimated that approximately 80% of the ranch is described as open prime livestock grazing areas and the other 20% is rolling hillsides, interspersed with wide valleys, open meadows, and very productive sub-irrigated vega bottomlands.

The Block Ranch is very well-improved. The owner’s home is located on an elevated hillside overlooking the wide vega bottom. This home has a large open porch area with outstanding views of the mountains to the south. The original main headquarters, which are located on the southwest side of the property, consist of a well-kept ranch manager’s home, along with a large, detached garage, a good bunkhouse, horse barn, shop, storage barns, airplane hangar, and horse pens.

The ranch is exceptionally well watered and has a tremendous and somewhat unique feature in the amazing Macho Spring, which flows an average of approximately 170 gallons per minute of clear, cool, spring fed quality water. In total, there are an estimated 55± miles of waterlines used to transport water throughout major portions of the property with most of these waterlines being directly tied to Macho Spring. $850 per deeded acre.

Lawsuit Launched to Protect Endangered Jumping Mouse Streamside Habitat in New Mexico’s Sacramento Mountains

T

he Center for Biological Diversity(CBD) filed a formal notice on May 31, 2024 of its intent to sue the U.S. Forest Service (USFS) and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) for failing to protect riparian areas and meadows in New Mexico’s Sacramento Mountains from cattle. The areas are critical habitat for the endangered New Mexico meadow jumping mouse and Mexican spotted owl.

“The jumping mouse and these spotted owls will only survive if the meadows and streams they rely on in the Sacramento Mountains are healthy, but cattle are wreaking havoc here,” said Robin Silver, co-founder of the CBD. “Federal officials have a yearslong pattern of failing to control destructive cattle grazing. It’s immoral and illegal for the Forest Service to neglect its responsibility to protect this critical habitat, and that failure will cause a local extinction.”

The Sacramento Mountains, a sky island rising a mile above the vast deserts of southern New Mexico, are home to the highest density of Mexican spotted owls in the country because of an abundance of large, old conifer trees. Protection of the owl’s preferred old-growth forest habitat is essential for its recovery, as is the protection of streams that sustain New Mexico meadow jumping mice.

The notice lists multiple ways that the USFS and the FWS are violating the Endangered Species Act. Most recently, the agencies concluded in a biological opinion that allowing cattle to graze in the jumping mouse and Mexican spotted owl habitat in the Lincoln National Forest would not harm the mouse while leaving 42 percent of the designated critical habitat unprotected on the Sacramento Allotment and 74 percent unprotected on the adjoining Agua Chiquita Allotment.

The agencies are failing to keep the cattle from trampling riparian areas and devouring grasses that the dwindling numbers of jumping mice need to survive. The Center previously took legal actions to protect these areas in 2019 and 2021.

The New Mexico meadow jumping mouse was listed as endangered in 2014, and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service protected nearly 14,000 acres of critical habitat for the species in 2016..

Stephen J. “Tio” Kleberg to Receive National Golden Spur Award on October 5

S

tephen J. “Tio” Kleberg of Kingsville, Texas, has been selected as the 2024 National Golden Spur recipient for his contributions to the ranching and livestock industries. Kleberg will receive the National Golden Spur Award at the Lubbock Memorial Civic Center in Lubbock, Texas, during the annual National Golden Spur Award Honors on Saturday, October 5.

“The National Golden Spur Award is the most prestigious national honor given by the ranching and livestock industries to one person,” explained Jim Bret Campbell, executive director of the Ranching Heritage Association and National Ranching Heritage Center. “As the 46th recipient, Tio Kleberg continues the tradition of excellence that characterizes National Golden Spur Award honorees.”

Presentation of the National Golden Spur Award is a joint annual recognition given by six of the leading state and national ranching and livestock organizations: the American Quarter Horse Association, National Cattlemen’s Foundation, Ranching Heritage Association, Texas Cattle Feeders Association, Texas Farm Bureau, and Texas and Southwestern Cattle Raisers Association.

Kleberg served as the vice president of agricultural operations for the legendary King Ranch from 1971-1998. He then served on the board of directors of King Ranch, Inc. from 1998 until 2021. During his more than 50 years of service to King Ranch, Kleberg revitalized the American Quarter Horse breeding program, contributed to the development of the Santa Cruz breed of cattle and implemented sweeping wildlife conservation efforts.

“As the manager of the livestock operations at the family’s King Ranch Properties in South Texas, Tio made a tremendous contribution to the Quarter Horse breed by introducing the services of Buster Welch and the stallions Mr. San Peppy and Peppy San Badger to the extremely talented band of King Ranch mares,” said Red Steagall, the 2018 recipient of the National Golden Spur Award. “The King Ranch horses took control of the equine industry for several years.

Those bloodlines continue to influence the Quarter Horse breed today.”

In addition to his contributions to the

success of King Ranch, Kleberg tirelessly served the ranching and livestock industries.

A longtime director of the American Quarter Horse Association, Kleberg served as one of the youngest AQHA presidents in 1985. He was inducted into the AQHA Hall of Fame in 1997. Kleberg was also a director for the National Cutting Horse Association and the Texas & Southwestern Cattle Raisers Association.

Kleberg’s commitment to wildlife conservation is legendary, having served on the boards of the Caesar Kleberg Wildlife Research Institute and the East Foundation.

Kleberg has been recognized by his peers with multiple awards, including being recTio and Janell Kleberg - Maria Langmore ognized with the Texas Tech University distinguished alumni award, and by both the Texas House and Senate with resolutions sponsorships, are currently available.

“Tio was a cowboy first and then became a cowman, a horseman and, ultimately, the leader of the agribusiness operations for King Ranch, where he became the face of King Ranch throughout his tenure,” said Jay Evans, who worked for Kleberg at King Ranch and now manages Bridwell Ranches.

“I can best describe his character and values by pulling from the cowboy/western culture code, which is summarized as strong faith, honesty, fairness, loyalty, hospitality, a deep respect for the land and its animals and a rock-solid work ethic and being a man of his law firm p c word.”

Adding Cutting to her High School Rodeo events last year came somewhat unexpectedly for Zajayda. “I was shagging cattle at a rodeo on Annie. She would want to cut them while I was working them, and I realized how much fun it could be. A friend of the family offered her a cutting horse that had been a world champion. Booger, 13, became her main ride and this summer is taking Zajayda to the High School National Finals in that event, qualified in 4th place in the New Mexico year end standings.

Zajayda’s favorite part of rodeo is the competitiveness. “I really like the challenge,” she explained. “And I like the opportunity of meeting new people. I love the rodeo family.”

Her future will be not too far away from family for college but in the meantime, she’s rodeoing, working several jobs to pay entry fees and add to her college fund.

Rob A. Brown, who grew up working with Buzz on the R.A. Brown Ranch. “He is a horseman and a conservationist with expertise in so many areas that this letter could be filled merely listing them out. In my view, at the most fundamental sense, Buzz is a teacher.”

Thorp worked for his father, B.F. Thorp, in Throckmorton County in Texas while growing up. He also cowboyed for his uncles and cousins during that time. He worked for the Muleshoe Cattle Company while attending Texas Tech University, where he graduated with a degree in animal husbandry in 1954.

At age 21, Thorp managed Ridglea Angus Farms in Dickson, Tennessee, before returning to Throckmorton where he worked for the R.A. Brown, McClusky and Birdwell ranches. He also ran his own cows and trained horses. In 1974, Thorp became the cow boss at Spanish Creek Ranch in Gallatin Gateway, Montana. From there, he moved to manage yearlings on Jones Ranch at Wagon Mound, New Mexico. Thorp managed the McKee Ranch in Galisteo, New Mexico, before returning to Texas to manage ranches in Palo Pinto, Throckmorton and Baylor counties, including the Wagon Creek Spade

Help Wanted

by Jaclyn Parrish

A

merican ranchers are struggling to find and retain labor.

It’s a challenge that has grown exponentially in recent years.

Canadian rancher John Haley, who operates the Haley Ranch is one of many cattle raisers struggling to find employees to meet the needs of his diverse operation.

Despite living on the ranch and being very active in the day-to-day, Haley is the market president at Happy State Bank. He needs two full-time employees to help manage the workload across the multi-family operation.

Between his father, uncle, and cousin, the Haley family has a footprint across Hemphill, Gray and Wheeler counties. The ranches operates a cow-calf herd and stock bred cattle alongside a farming operation of wheat and other forages for grazing.

The operation was known for many years as the Shaller Ranch and has deep roots in the Texas Panhandle dating back to 1887.

Until recently, the ranches employed two long-term ranch hands who Haley describes much like family.

“Growing up, myself and my cousin, we both were somewhat raised by our ranch hands,” he said. “They both worked for over 25 years for us on the ranch in Gray County and one worked here in Hemphill County where we shared a lot of work back and forth.”

The ranch hands, who were brothers themselves, retired less than ten years ago.

John spent the next years trying to find a permanent replacement to fill the roles.

“Since they retired, we’ve had a few employees that had worked for five or six

198 JULY 2024

years,” said John.

“One gentleman was older, and he had the job figured out, but it was a second job post-retirement, and it was more than maybe what he wanted to do.”

Challenges didn’t stop there.

The operation’s diversity of work can be a deterrent for those employees who truly want to ‘cowboy’. He points to examples, including the installation and continual management of a poly pipe water manifold system as well as an ongoing fight against invasive species across the rangeland.

“We constantly spray brush on our place,” he said, noting to the need to be diligent.

“I’ve seen places that if you don’t keep the integrity in the ranch, you’ll pay for it long term.”

The operation’s wheat fields also require much attention. As John candidly describes, asking someone to drive a tractor with a cowboy hat does not always go over well.

“I have to hire accordingly because if I hire somebody that just wants to cowboy, he’s going to be very upset,” he said. “We do a lot of things horseback and we still rope and drag everything, but there’s a lot to truly upkeeping the ranch when you have a large asset out t here t hat needs to be maintained.”

When faced with limited options, John and his family, like many across America, turned to the H-2A visa program.

TN Visa Program

W

ith limitations to the H-2A program, ranchers may find solutions through other guest worker visa programs. This includes the TN visa program that facilitates the temporary entry of highly-skilled foreign workers from Canada and Mexico.

The TN visa program was established under the North American Free Trade Agreement and continued under the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement. Unlike the H-2A visa program, a TN visa recipient can stay for up to three years in the U.S. and renew their visa indefinitely with adequate employment.

The TN visa program has advantages over the H-2A program. Farms or ranches seeking TN visa workers need not demonstrate they were unable to find a suitable U.S. worker to fill the vacant position. In addition, the appli-

Understanding guest worker programs The guest worker program was a concept first developed to address labor shortages in agriculture when farmers and ranchers were deployed to fight in World War I, World War II and the Korean War. While the modern-day H-2A program has been refined over the years, it continues to help fill a gap for labor on farms and ranches. Today, the program allows employ-

ers to bring agricultural workers to the U.S. to fill temporary or seasonal jobs from more than 90 qualifying countries.

Todd Miller is the owner and founder of Head Honchos, a San Antonio-based company that helps farmers and ranchers navigate guest worker programs like the H-2A visa program. When someone first

cation is relatively quick a nd straightforward compared to the H-2A application and has flexibility allowing for multiple entries into the U.S. Spouses and children under the age of 21 are also eligible for entry with the primary TN visa holder.

However, the program is limited to specific professionals and often requires workers hold at minimum a bachelor’s degree and have professional experience in the industry in which they work. The NAFTA Advisor Manual lists agriculturist, animal scientists, animal breeder, nutritionist, soil scientists and veterinarians as qualified professions.

The TN visa program application process differs from Canada to Mexico and can provide limited assurances prior to a worker’s arrival to the U.S. Canadians need only present the application and required documentation to the U.S. Customs and Border Protection officer at the designated port of entry while Mexican visa applicants must apply through a U.S. embassy or consulate and partake in an immigration interview prior to being granted a visa.

approaches Miller, he makes sure they understand the program’s basic principles.

This includes complying with the terms of the visa. Famously, the H2-A program permits guest workers to remain in the U.S. for up to one year but requires the visa holder to return to their home country for a consecutive 90-day period at the conclusion of a contract.

In addition, there are prevailing wages.

The Department of Labor establishes these wages to ensure that H-2A workers are paid the same wages as domestic workers within the contract state, preventing employers from misusing the H-2A program to access lower wages. This aims to preserve the market for domestic workers seeking the same job.

As of January 2024, the prevailing wage in Texas is $15.55, a rate Miller says ranchers need to understand going into an contract.

“Employers must agree to pay guest workers this wage at a minimum of 35 hours each week,” said Miller. “But there is no maximum.”

Thank you Wild Wild West Rodeo.

Tour stop #2 of the RENEGADE TOUR with you all in Silver city NM was outstanding. Takes a small village to put together a show like we did and our hats off to you for all the hard work. Great job! To all the volunteers and paid personnel,this couldn’t be possible without you. #theshow #bacarodeo #renegade #wildwildwest

plies were stored. He would refine his skills on horseback and learn signs of sick cattle needing doctored. It was similar to onboarding any new employee, apart from more oddities, like assimilating Jacque to life on an American ranch.

“My dad brought him home from his flight and said, well, there’s your house, door’s open,” said John. “He kind of looked at my dad questioningly and said, where’s the compound?”

The safety and security in the U.S. was a stark difference from that of South Africa.

“He’s like, well, where’s the fence? My dad’s like, there’s no fence.”

However, John’s hopeful the time put in can pay off. He points to the attitude of workers like Jacques.

“We just don’t know where they are coming from as far as the society in South Africa and the insecurity they have and with their families. I think a large driver of why we have great people coming over to help us is truly due to America and its safety and the ability to just live your life without fear.”

Jacques returned in 2024 to the Haley Ranch after spending the required 90 days back in South Africa.

“This second year has been a breeze in comparison to the first, even though we had the fire that kind of threw a major ripple in it,” said John.

The Haley Ranch was a victim of the Smokehouse Creek wildfire in March, where they lost 18,000 acres of grassland, 58 miles of fence, 40 calves, a herd bull, and five saddle horses, including one of Jacque’s favorite he had become close to in the year prior.

“He said his first love in Texas has gone on, so he took that pretty hard,” said John.

To d a y, J a c q u e o p e r a t e s v e r y independently.

“We allow him to have that autonomy to create his own schedule,” said John. “We leave him a list that I want to get done from ranch maintenance side to cattle work, and he handles it.”

John and his family are happy with the decision.

“I think it seems daunting at first to just dive off in it, but once you get the ball rolling, I think it moves quickly,” he said. “In my experience, when they step out the door, you’re absolutely getting what you paid for.”
