The Allotment Master Report indicates BORDA LAND AND SHEEP, with 481 active AUMs, and BENTLY FAMILY LIMITED PARTNERSHIP with 1,471.
However, a 2022 project in ePlanning transferred Bently’s preference from one base property to another.
The CX said the grazing preference moved from SE1/4, NW1/4, S13, T13N, R20E, a parcel of approximately 40 acres, to SW1/4, SW1/4, S27, T13N, R22E, another parcel of approximately 40 acres, with no change in grazing authorization. (To understand these callouts, watch this video.)
Normally this would not be a problem if both parcels had the same owner.
Douglas County does not recognize the destination as a standalone parcel.
It’s part of APN 1322-00-002-067, a 944-acre tract in the CAAWH land trust.
The transfer occurred before Bently sold the land to CAAWH.
If the intent was to shift the preference from Bently to CAAWH, and a 2023 article by The Record-Courier suggests it was, it’s not reflected in the BLM documentation.
The Authorization Use Report shows the AUMs are still assigned to livestock.
