How did your Grandfather lose his "homestead" ranch in 1932? Was this a foreclosure due to non-payment of real estate or other taxes? An Eminent Domain purchase; Or did he lose his BLM lease? Or was it a failure to follow the provisions of the Homestead Act? Notice the Act required farming, and this definition did not include ranching. When many farming Homesteads cut into the "free grazing" areas of ranchers, some ranchers resorted to filing their own homesteads. Some actually bothered to follow the act and farmed some of their claim. Other ranchers never performed any activity other than ranching, in the process legally abandoning their homestead. For reference, the Homestead Act of 1862 provided any man or woman twenty-one years old or the head of a family could have 160 acres of undeveloped land (in certain areas including Colorado) by living on it five years and paying eighteen dollars in fees. They were also required to live on the land, build a home, make improvements and farm the land before they could own it outright. Alternatively, the homesteader could purchase the land for $1.25 per acre after having lived on the land for six months. .
