I have just visited Grant county in eastern Oregon through 4-H and met some of the families that use the grazing lands. I know that the wild horses and elk do a lot of damage not only to the streams but also to the fences they have to maintain. I believe that the cows should be able to graze but they should be required to build fences around streambanks. I know that these people have been environmental even before it was the hip thing to do. They love the land and deserve to be able to use it and not be restricted as much as they are when wild horses destroy the landscape much more.

Thanks-

Anna
