where the hags willfully allowed cattle to wander on to unpermitted federal lands. the cost of the damage $165.88. it was a long-awaited vindication and a historic ruling for all western arch ra ranchers fighting for property rights. even though the hags won back their rights they still haven t had their permits renewed. meanwhile the u.s. is appealing the case. do you have any reason to believe they will back off? i don t think they will back off. the department of justice attorney said, are you interested in settling a case? he said no we always win at the 9th circuit. that is our court. they won t reverse this. hags haven t seen a dime of the 14 million they were awarded in 2008. in that case the latest court ruling stands they never will. we had hoped to talk to the u.s. forest service about all of this to get its side of the story but they wouldn t talk to fox news citing pending litigation.
