In Owyhee County, Idaho, local Bureau of Land Management (BLM) officials have very nearly succeeded in their more than decade-long, vendetta-like struggle to drive three ranch families from the land.
The BLM's Idaho field manager, John Fend, who has since been promoted to the agency's Washington, DC office, contended that, for the two-year suspension to go into effect, the appeal must be filed with the BLM's own board of appeals.
While the Bureau of Land Management has used environmental concerns to curtail grazing rights, Owyhee County, private and university experts and even the BLM's own studies show that the high pastures of the Cliffs Allotment were being improved, not harmed, under the stewardship of the Lowrys, Stanfords and Andersons.

OWYHEE COUNTY, Idaho — Claude Dallas killed two state officers in a remote desert 24 years ago in a crime that brought him notoriety as both a callous criminal and a modern-day mountain man at odds with the government.
Now a bespectacled 54-year-old, Dallas is to be released from prison today after serving nearly 22 years for the execution-style slayings of Conley Elms and Bill Pogue, officers for the Idaho Department of Fish and Game.
The case has been among the most polarizing in Idaho history, with some expressing disgust at how Dallas has gained a measure of folk-hero status among those who rally against the establishment — leaving some to dub him the state's most infamous outlaw.
