The Arapahoe Creek Grazing
Permit consists of 640 acres deeded and 1,480 acres State Grazing Lease
fenced into a private pasture, plus 279 AUMs (480 acres) of State of Wyoming
Lease and a BLM 212 AUMs located in the Green Mountain Common Grazing
Allotment. The Green Mountain Common Allot. is permitted for used beginning
May -16 for six months.
The Green Mountain Common
Allotment, it is one of the nation’s largest unfenced ranges, measuring 40
miles by 20 miles, and encompassing more than 500,000 acres. most of the
land within the allotment is public land: 86 percent is public, 9 percent is
state-owned and 5 percent is privately-owned. Run by the U.S. Bureau of Land
Management — though there are some private parcels within it — it’s used for
livestock grazing by 17 different ranching operations. Besides cattle, it
supports wild horse herds and two enormous herds of pronghorn, along with a
rich mix of elk, sage grouse, deer and raptors.
Dry conditions and
pressure from other user groups have resulted in a cut in livestock numbers
on the Common to 50 percent of its previous carrying capacity. This cut is
reflected in federal AUMs represented for sale in this offering.
