Either way ranchers were chased off the grazing lands and the grass grew very long and caught fire.

I don't disagree there are pockets of overgrazing. I never looked at the website but it happens.

Before the cattle came buffalo grazed the land.

You're right about more buffalo. If we get rid of all the cattle and introduce some 60 to 100 million buffalo they would do the job quite handily. We will of course have to abandon cities and subdivisions along their migratory path so they don't trip and hurt themselves passing through.

Our Indians can then be trained to ride horses and hunt with the bow and arrow to keep the herds thinned down and this will keep them on a more traditional path and off the streets.

This is brilliant and I'm surprised no one has ever thought of this before. I'll raise this at a band council meeting I'm attending next week. The Indians for too long have enjoyed hunting with snow machines and quads and high powered white man rifles.
