Grazing Fees and Forest Stock Use in West States
An analysis explains that grazing advances paid by purchasers have inflated stock values by up to 1.50 per head for sheep and 10.00 for cattle. Low forest fees reduce state receipts from national forest grazing, with Colorado receipts potentially doubling under proposed increases. A study compares 900 private versus national forest ranch charges, finding national forest rates far below private lands, and argues real grazing value is about twice current rates.
