Not only do cattle have cloven feet (like sheep or goats; two toes), but they also do not have upper teeth, they have an upper palette (plate). This makes it harder for them to graze down close to the ground. UNLIKE, wild horses which have upper and lower teeth, can graze plants down to dirt, and also a single hoof. Apparently the environmentalist is ignorant or bent on spreading lies. Either way, he is lying to the public.

Let cowboys live. They've been around for hundreds of years. I love cowboys. I love my horse. Let cowboys live

The bonehead at the 3:45 Mark has never looked at a cows hooves. Their hooves are not like a horse they are in fact like bison.

A cow doesn’t have a cleft foot? Has he ever been around a cow? Every cow I ever seen had a cleft foot!

I'm all for the cowboy

7:40 How is public lands grazing a welfare project? Ranchers pay for each AUM (Animal Unit Month) per animal. Is that any different from me paying the $10 fee to camp overnight in a state park?

What pisses me off is that the land was owned by the ranchers and then seized by the federial government who then forced the ranchers to pay for the use of their own land. When did citizens become subjects in our own country?

The government and politicians don’t want us to own huge lands and now trying to change rural towns in the state of Nevada. It sucks ! I miss the Ranchers and Cowboys:(

Cattle have a cleft (cloven) hoof and they don't eat every blade of grass unlike wild horses that run rampant do to federal mismanagement.

I hope he gets to keep the Ranch.

Mark Mease has apparently never seen an actual cow hoof!?!

How does one trespass where they live? By government tyranny

Cattle have cleft hooves, the same as the bison.

Let the western ranches and cowboys live on. Or we may have to bring John Wayne back.

"Public land" means government land, which they do not know how to manage. And when the government teams up with environmental folks who don't even know what a cow's hoof looks like, the hard working folks (who produce our food), have their land and cattle taken and put so far into debt that their lives are destroyed. So frustrating.

The Federal Government is out of control

Would love nothing more than to work a ranch the rest of my life

I hope things change soon. These people aren't have been doing it for a long time. I want to be a rancher when I grow up.

That hippie @ 3:45 just knows absolutely NOTHING

keep fighting Wayne.

Thanks for share with us

Makes me incredibly sad to see this! Even I remember visiting my aunt's here in rural Alberta 40 years ago on their fans and you don't see that to much anymore! I have one aunt doing incredibly all raising organic beef!

This is an American art form that needs to be preserved.

Now this is a sad deal for sure

It is now September 2021 - WHAT has happened now ??? PLEASE KEEP US UP TO DATE.

For those who are interested in the full story, this is a link to a full interview with Wayne Hage Sr. cataloguing the entire case with the Government. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/nJqYfsx207fIp4k.html

My grandpa is neighbors and friends with him

Keep fighting.

Hello my name is suad i am from libya i like world cow boy i wish you all a good life

These are the real american Patriots, saludos de Argentina

if this happens , the grass fires will be overwhelming ....i think the government shouldnt be in land biz....sell it to pay off debt

Our country is in a sad shape for the true people in this country that have farms and ranches and our government is destroying everything the people have worked so hard for.

It’s not YOUR wildlife, it’s wildlife. However, the cattle is OUR food, collectively, as a country. It is this us vs. them, mine vs. yours logic that is plaguing every facet of American culture and there is no truer interaction than the “Environmentalists” vs the Ranchers. We are all Americans, and we eat because of the men and women who raise our food, whether it be animal or plant based. Salute to those who provide and always show up for OUR country.

Cowboys all seem to cry woah is me while living the best life you could be blessed to have

I like the headstone

No se ingles me encanta en campo y me encantaria trabajar en un rancho asi ganadero.se ve bonito todo las praderas los ganados.

Nossa que lindo seus vídeos são muito bon

Great nice job.

I love it Cowboy and Farmers 🤠

3:45 I don't know what they are doing to their cattle if the don't have split hooves

I went branding with him, he is a beast, Wayne hage jr

Read what TOMAS JEFFERSON SAID ABOUT TY RANY IN GOV. ITS PAST TIME WE STOPED THEM.

Sad, feel bad for the mate.

Amen protect your land

The Cow foot has been discussed, that they are like Bison. Moreover, the law of land holding was also discussed. 7000 acres is a ranch size. But I am talking of North America. The USA is a part of that continent. The price of " four hoves" is around 65 Canadian dollars in Canada. That is enormous for Pakistanis living in Canada.' The meat is also expensive. Please somebody guide me. I never bought when I was in USA or Canada. I have never found them on shelves.

A powerful right of all 'citizens of the United States' that is ignored because it is not part of the bill of rights is found in Art 4 of the constitution. When any such citizen is impacted, or potentially impacted, by any law or rule, they have the right to compel the promulgating gov agency prove the law or rule is actually needful and not merely oppressive or cease enforcement.

I dont get it, was the land privately owned by his family or was it owned by the government and let him use it?

These were certified organic herd for a while. As usual with government cases it’s never as simple as “free loader.”

Me gustaría trabajar en ese rancho

That environmentalists has no clue what hes talking about. As a 4th generation farmer I can say cattle have the same foot as buffalo's and bison. Look up the definition of bovine. Also a cows mouth in the front only has teeth on the bottom which make them much more suitable for grazing grass because they leave about 1 to 2 inches of grass left when they graze. Unlike a horse who has front teeth on top and bottom which allows them to pinch grass off or pull it up roots and all leaving nothing but weeds in a pasture.

i say we make all these lawmakers see how hard it is to be a rancher, then maybe they'll understand

Just wait until our politicians get no food for their big fancy parties. God Bless our ranchers and their families.

Idont know enough abot this case to realy whatsright or wrong,but this is just sad. Looking at the map over USA it looks like there is enough space for ranchers and wildlife to live side by side.

What a shame! Cows are not out of style and neither should cowboys be

Every cowboy is the last one . Has anyone else noticed that.

Not to mention that taking the cattle off the land creates worse and worse wildfires.

Sad!

Im a farmer...I own my own farm.... a dairy operation for 35 yrs. I know what work is ! Now....Ive sold the milk cows and bought back stock cows...with their calves each year. In this video they relate to the hard work. I ask.....what work ? Do they create their own work or what ? They dont fence the cattle. Allow them to run free...brand them so at the end of the year they know whos cattle are whos. Its the law. I know......because I do have stock cows now. There is almost nothing to it ! These rancher / farmers are not there when the calves are born.....in case a cow has problems. Most times they dont even know where the cows are ! They are "using" public owned land. Im all for farming and a good way of living. But sometimes a person needs to " WORK " for a living !!!

Sad, really sad!

anido hage no te dejes vencer yo tambien e sido ganadero, y ese ambiente es lo que mas te gusta, soy venezolano el régimen nos oprimió y busco expropiarnos no pudo, luego comenzó un desorden de escasez propiciado por en régimen venezolano, y no pude mas, tube que vender a precio de gallina flaca al no poder sembrar ni comercializar ya que los precios eran para que quebraremos, hoy en dia me arrepiento de ello, y trato de alegrar mi existencia viendo cada uno de ustedes como luchan por lo suyos, que eran de sus padres, no te deje vencer amigo hages, eso es la esencia del norteamericano.

Cattle been in America for hundreds of years the wildlife has adapted

Cleft hooves on cows?? glad elk and deer have feet like ducks

I’d suggest people watch ranchlands from the history channel (which is on KZfaq)

So who are the cowboys how did they come to be ? Who originated the cowboy western them and who invented the suit on a deck of cards? So much and more

This is a sad story, man.

This just shows that the hippy's are winning.

This guy still owns 7000 acres he should just build a huge feed lot there. He can do his cowboying as a pen rider.

Its good lyve

A few years after this video the 9th Circuit ruled against this rancher and then the Supreme Court refused to hear the case allowing the 9th Circuit's ruling to stand. In short the ranchers lost the legal battle. I have no idea what became of Wayne Hage Jr or his ranch after that. The articles about him online pretty much die after 2018 when they lost the legal battle.

All those little kids that want to be cowboys might never have a chance because of the government

This was a sad story to watch. It's so unamerican to see this happen.

Wow 😳. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

No cowboy=no quality beef.

That watershed dude made THE dumbest case for ending public land grazing.....

Just flipping sad. There is no reward for hard work and values.

Sun Set That sun still sets in the west But that old trail is asphalt now Baked by the sun hot and dry The sounds of hoofs have passed Herds of buffalo graze no more Barbwire strung along The fence post passed like a picket fence As the truck tires whine on The sweetgrass has all but gone The Mesquite is tall and thick Prickly Pear covers the prairie The Longhorns have gone A saddle all covered in dust The moth-riddled blanket flaps Riding quirt amiss Old spurs hung on a wall On a post hangs a leather belt With a holster cracked and rotting That old hogleg turned brown Brass all green The lassoing cowboy is no more That broad hat tipped back His shirt sleeves rolled high Jeans rolled double His hair thinned and gray High cheekbones darken Bull hide tough Hand scars a many With eyes squinting A straw chair leaned back Daydreaming No more round ups That last ride was long ago With a rolled cigarette on his lip His words in a low key That sun still sets in the west Barry 4/3/2023

Come on guys, you can trust the government!

The precursors of the American cowboy were the Mexicans who raised cattle in the area of present-day Texas, when it was Mexican territory, before the annexation to the United States, their lifestyle and work was inherited from Mexicans who lived in the current Texan territory . California also had skilled men on horseback, according to Richard Henry Dana who wrote a book about that region in 1840 when it still belonged to Mexico. As described: When they go on long journeys, they ride a horse until they tire and grab another, pull the mount and the bridle over it, and after exhausting the animal, they take a third, and so on until the end of the trip. There are no better riders like Mexicans in the world.

i liked this video because of the fight of the ranchers not the apparent outcome of their effort ! Im guessing that most of the people that are hollering the loudest and those making the decisions will never walk,ride or fly over this land . Ranchers are not in the business of destroying the land . They are conservationists of the highest order . On another note , the gentleman speaking about the anatomy of the cow ; the hoof of the cow is same as a bison , split . I believe more people depend on the beef industry for their food than on his elk herd .

That’s why you buy your own land 🤷‍♂️

Mike Mease ~ “Why does their way of life supersede mine?” - Also the party of Mike - “ABORTION IS A RIGHT” 🤣 The Hypocriticalness

That's why I hate the federal government. Fly a don't tread on me flag

On the Forest Service website it say, "The mission of the USDA Forest Service is to sustain the health, diversity, and productivity of the Nation’s forests and grasslands to meet the needs of present and future generations." (www.fs.fed.us/about-agency/what-we-believe)The Forest Service is founded on conservation. It is not government welfare but in fact a way of providing for responsible use of the land to support the American economy so that we can have food on our plates, lumber to build houses, and rock and ore for our jobs while sustaining these wild places for continued use. What happened to this rancher was unfortunate and wrong. It was the duty of the Forest Service to provide for both the rancher and the elk.

Bud you need to look at a cows foot its cleft horses have flat feet

ummm, cows DO have cloven hooves. If this dude is in fact an environmentalist, he sure knows nothing about biology...

publicly owned aka government owned

isn't there that u can grow on that many acres??? crops suited to low rainfall and high sunshine??? flowers? something? does it have to be just cows? alpacas are in dry 'desert-y' Australia, so perhaps another option?... they have untold acres of private land already at their disposal. instead of going thru the courts[consuming capital/enriching lawyers], and just working the land for what suits, perhaps a better more sustainable outcome? surely must have had low debt if inherited: a big bonus starting point? and surely u could do something with those privately owned acres?????

Hi

Such a sad situation…the new generation just doesn’t get it!

You can’t make a living on the 7,000 acres you own? I realize it’s a dry environment but that’s still a big ranch in my book.

make sure you destroy any and all improvement on government land before you leave to return to natural state. all wells. all stock tanks .all ponds .any bridge building fence your family put on the federal land

Cattle do have cloven feet unlike he claims. Cattle only graze on one spot all day if it's the only spot of grass to eat period. He compares grazing on public land to welfare but welfare is free while these ranchers pay a fee per head per month. So he must have just not looked into that either. The American Bison or buffalo and domesticated cattle both come from the Bovidae family so if we went back a few hundred years ago huge herds of buffalo grazed a lot of those same areas and migrated from area to area similar to how a Rancher moves his cattle from pasture to pasture through the season's. I'm sure that they have different effects on pasture but to act like no animal anything like cattle ever roamed free and wild in the Americas is a bit of a stretch. I bet this guy thought by giving his opinion on this video he might sway others to the cause of keeping cattle off public land but didn't even bother doing a simple Google search for the points he raised. Just keep making it impossible for farmers and ranchers to make a living and see what kinda world we have then.

Task one.

some environmentalists think beef grows in trees when they go for a burger or steak

Since october 1928.

Where the f#*^ is Mark Mease at?!

Man how to video making people put people in the video who ain't got no clue about what there talking about. Only time I get mad about cows on the mountain is when I have 500 pictures on trail cam of cows.

Well I guess they just don't steal the Native's land now either.

Sad.
