Ranching Resilience: Temporary Grazing Access After Natural Disasters.
This law creates a fast-track process allowing livestock operators to temporarily move their herds to vacant federal grazing lands if their primary allotments are rendered unusable by disasters like drought or wildfire. The goal is to protect ranching operations and livestock during emergencies. Temporary use rules are designed to protect the ecology of the new area and do not alter the terms of the original grazing permit.
Key points
Ranchers can quickly access other vacant federal lands for temporary grazing if their current allotments are destroyed by natural disasters (e.g., drought, fire).
Temporary structures like fencing or water troughs can be authorized on the new site to accommodate the immediate relocation of livestock.
This temporary relocation does not affect the rancher's right to return to their original allotment or change the terms of their permanent grazing permit.
