[QUOTE="Dave, post: 772684, member: 498"] My daughter works on a ranch in Montana. The guy she works for told me that round #2 of homesteads they allowed a person to homestead 640 acres in that area. In round #1 they figured out that a family couldn't make it on 160 acres there. Over the years they have slowly bought out the ones who couldn't make it. He figures 30 cows per section (640 ac) for the grazing season. That is a little over 21 acres per pair. 500 pairs would take 10,500 acres. There certainly are grazing permits on government land in Montana. There is more of that in western Montana. But not like in Idaho, Nevada, or parts of Utah or Oregon where the majority of the land is owned by the governement and grazing permits are the only way to survive. [/QUOTE]
