WY: Wildlife News calculates feds pay church ranch 232X the rate feds take in to graze bison.
Is the $3.3 million dollar deal to let Yellowstone bison graze on a neighboring ranch in winter going to stop the buffalo culls? Ken Cole is skeptical. Yellowstone is paying $3.3 million dollar for a 30 year deal deal to let 30-100 Yellowstone bison graze in the winter on the neighboring Church Universal and Triumphant’s (CUT) Royal Teton Ranch (RTR). The church puts a ton of restrictions on the bison and charges $313 Animal Unit Months (AUMs) while the BLM or forest service charges ranchers only $1.35 per AUM. Wouldn’t it be cheaper to buy the land? The Wildlife News
