Grazing Service Fund Cut Hurts Uintah Range
A federal funding reduction cuts Uintah Basin and Duchesne Advisory District 8 grazing work to a bare minimum. Staff in Utah drops to six admin men and Uintah Basin from four to one as funds cover only essential duties like spring fencing road work and fire protection. Grazing lands host over 200000 sheep and about 14000 cattle with the district overseeing more than two million acres plus extra acreage under agreement with the department. The local office remains open and district grazier Dale Naylor will be available Mondays for appointments.
