Episode Details

American Prairie is fighting to keep its bison on federal land after the BLM revoked their grazing permits, claiming bison aren’t “production livestock” under the Taylor Grazing Act — a move that forces them to remove 900 bison by September or face culling 300. The group, which has grazed bison since 2005, argues selling, transferring to tribes, and allowing hunting qualifies as production — and that the BLM’s interpretation ignores decades of precedent. Legal experts say the law’s purpose wasn’t solely for ranchers, and other acts allow multiple land uses. With the Secretary of the Interior involved, this lawsuit could reshape how bison are treated under federal law — and whether conservation efforts can legally coexist with traditional grazing.
