What a asshole liar you are, Dale. The BLM was formed because the open range concept was destroying the land. And were those lands sold off to the highest bidder, most of the ranchers in the West would go broke as the price of beef would double. At present the price per month for a unit, cow and calf, is less than $1.50, where it is about $20 per month on private land. Sold to the highest bidder, the land would mostly be sold to Chinese, Japanese, and Saudis. And they would charge the going private rate, and the ranchers would be forced to sell their ranches for pennies on the dollar.
