Deseret and BLM
Deseret Ranch is at an elevation ranging from 6,500 ft to 8,000 ft and because of this thier calving season is very short and because of this they rely on the BLM land to run cows for calving. In the ranchlike we discussed in class is a great management area for cattle. and for the rancge land. BLM land is very different. For example, the BLM range land of horses they run free and eat to thier hearts content and sometimes can never be caught. This is the same for cattle. The deseret ranch in Rich County is run by volunteers from the LDS church so it cuts cost down tremendously in that sense. That is just one reason that it is so successful.

Maybe it's the part cowboy in me (I grew up with horses), but chasing wild horses on a horse has always sounded like a blast to me. We are invited to view them but it's against the law to chase them. Congress made it illegal to harass a wild horse but I can't read an e-mail without being harassed to enlarge my penis. "Wild horses are naturally wary. They are best viewed with binoculars at a distance. When approached, they will normally spook and run for cover". The horses are there for us to enjoy as much as the elk. Money is made from hunting wildlife and cows are used for beef. How can we use the horses to make money? Couldn't we run this more like a business as we've discussed in class. Maybe I'm the only City Slicker out there who might pay for the right to chase wild horses, and we couldn't have people chasing them every day, but some kind of ranch that offers activities for the public at a price might turn a profit out of these animals. Are they treated like wildlife or wild livestock?
