Buckeye Grazing Preference Transfers to CAAWH

The nonprofit holds 75% of the active AUMs according to the Allotment Master Report.

The percentage of public land is not known.

The Authorization Use Report shows their portion is still permitted for cattle with a 5.5 month grazing season.

Western Horse Watchers does not know if the advocates have asked the BLM to change the livestock type to horses and the grazing season to 12 months, turning the area into a refuge for up to 122 equines.

A search of ePlanning for projects involving Buckeye turned up the grazing preference transfer but nothing for repurposing the allotment.

The portion controlled by CAAWH may not overlap the Pine Nut Mountains HMA but almost certainly overlaps the HA.
