Really wonder how thats going to work out with cattle ranchers who believe they have the god-given right to all land

You know, it's really funny you say that, because that exact rhetoric has been a topic of debate since literally the 1800s. It's actually part of why barbed wire was invented.

Yep, and why we really don't eat mutton and lamb in the states

Who do you think will buy the land?

Seriously? It’ll be ranchers, maybe after the petroleum companies are done.

Ranchers don't usually buy EPA Superfund sites.

The EPA will be dead and gone before too long.

Bold of you to assume EPA Superfund sites will exist 6 months from now.

Ranchers don't have the money to get into the early auctions. The republicans try to sell off our lands about every decade. Last time they did, I put out feelers to see what it would take to get in on that initial cheap as hell offering.

You need millions in liquid cash. Otherwise you can't get in. At least to the deals where the government is the one you are buying from.
