Federal grazing permits for bison on Montana prairie were canceled, enabling livestock-for-food priorities and replacing bison with cattle.
Once every 10 years, ranchers must renew the permits that allow their cattle, sheep and other livestock to graze on the West's public domain. These renewals are the government's best opportunity to address how those livestock are harming the environment. The Bureau of Land Management and Forest Service, which manage the majority of public lands, are required by law to review each permit before deciding whether to place additional conditions on it or - in rare cases - to deny its renewal.
