America's Wild Horse Problem
With news of the U.S. Forest Service culling cattle in the Gila National Forest last month, I felt it was a good time to provide information on the Wild Horse and Burro problem in America. The population of Wild Horses and Burros has climbed North of 82,000 in the last year and current management strategies are not capable of achieving the appropriate management level "AML" of around 26,000. Join me today to learn more about how this issue is causing problems across the nation.

The Rise of the Lazy S Ranch
Legendary Ranchers: C.C. "Lum" Slaughter
From his Wikipedia: Christopher Columbus Slaughter (a.k.a. C.C. Slaughter or Lum Slaughter) (1837–1919) was an American rancher, cattle drover and breeder, banker and philanthropist in the Old West. After serving in the Confederate States Army during the American Civil War of 1861–1865, he came to own 40,000 cattle and over one million acres of ranch land in West Texas. He became the largest taxpayer in Texas, and used his wealth to endow Baptist institutions. He was known as the "Cattle King of Texas."

Legendary Ranchers: Ellen "Cattle Kate" Watson
From her Wikipedia: Ellen Liddy Watson (July 2, 1860[1] – July 20, 1889) was a pioneer of Wyoming who became known as Cattle Kate, an outlaw of the Old West, although the characterization is a dubious one, as subsequent research has tended to see her as a much maligned victim of a self styled land baron. Watson had acquired homestead rights on land with water resources vital to the wealthiest rancher in the county, Albert Bothwell, when she was accused by him of cattle rustling. She was abducted from her home and lynched along with her husband by Bothwell and some other ranchers he had incited against her. The bodies were left hanging for 2 days, and the reputation that attached to her until recently was quickly established by newspaper publicity. Accounts of Watson as a rustler are now regarded as highly biased. Her life has become an Old West legend, and inspired a number of television and film accounts.
