A Closer Look: Agua Fria National Monument Grazing
For more than half a century, the BLM has proudly worked with the many thousands of American ranchers who graze their livestock on 155 million acres of our nation’s public rangelands.
Take a closer look at BLM’s grazing program through the Agua Fria National Monument in Arizona. A vital part of the success of rangeland management is the relationship between the community ranchers and the BLM Rangeland Management staff, who work together to manage range ecosystems for current and future generations.
John Holbrook of JH Cattle Company holds a grazing permit with the BLM and shares a positive and productive relationship with the Rangeland Management staff.
“After working with BLM closely,” Holbrook says, “I’ve figured out when they come to me with a problem I know them well enough, and we have a relationship up to the point where I know where they’re coming from, and what we need to do to change or do things differently so that way we’re doing the best job that we can.”
