Having any luck?
Here's some help with the facts.


I believe he as well as me was refering to the ESA listed arguments.. Also please note that state lands, USFS lands, and some wilderness areas a leased to cattle grazing as well. I'd like to see some facts about the 2-3% of the us beef as well. Also how much of that 160million acres is landlocked within private? [/quote]
