Um..it..it’s..um..it’s got to do with the cattle and the grazing
in the West. Um..and..and how the ranchers get to use the land in the
West. It’s very cheap to lease land so they run lots of cattle in the
, which is not a viable place to run cattle….at
all..
Why not?
It’s a very

. It takes a long time for things to grow.
It’s a very…it’s a very settled environment. And, you introduce cattle and they

the land, they eat the grass. What little grass there is that grows,
they eat. And they trample things.
And how long has this been going on?
Hundreds of years. It’s…how the West was won. And th..that’s
it.

a..a.Southerner..erm..and somebody who is…and a Republican. and somebody who is
not
to change policy..um..
for the environment.
