I guess we just have to remember what was happening before the Europeans came, settled, and domesticated the land. The buffalo were there and the native people were there. The practice of having cattle on the land is replicating what was natural before we were out there.
If Bob were here, he would remember names, places, and dates. I remember the concepts.
There are areas that have just been left and set aside to go wild. We have taken the cattle and the animals out of those, and those places have become completely unproductive and uninhabitable for anything. The species at risk that were there have left because that habitat is no longer suitable for them anyway. You have to ask yourself why the burrowing owl is where it is, and why the sage grouse is where it is. It's because ranchers are taking care of that land and providing habitat for them.
