I don't have a problem with created water
ponds...they provide wild horses and other animals with needed water, and in the
case here at home, they create great frog habitat. I was always under the
impression that ranchers had to pay BLM for grazing rights. Was I
wrong?
This sounds good but Cattle ran on BLM do a lot of damage and the
ranchers make water ponds, catch pens with large equipment, which
also take roads to get to, blah, blah blah....So the Cattle do have
private owners that make money on the sale of Cattle which is done by having
free feed all summer (or winter in some areas) on BLM land. I know this
first hand. We used to have a cattle ranch in Council, Idaho, and
couldn't wait to move the stock up to the BLM lands with our BLM grazing
rights permit....which is funny, that can be sold too!
So this just gets deeper as a subject.....

One good thing that BLM allows is controlled
grazing, because such use keeps invasive brush and weeds to a
minimum.
