Isaac, come on dude. Your an attorney, right? Are you trying to tell me that his water rights, improvements, cattle, and right to use of forage are not personal property rights? Take my advice in my above post. When you come back in a week, we all can have a nice chat. Take care. GOD Bless.
Careful with what you are calling personal property. The cattle, I agree are. The improvements may or may not be. If they were completed by him under a range use agreement, he does hold title to all or part of them. These have not been SOP for the BLM for quite some time. If done through a range improvement where, at most, his cost share was material or labor he does not own them, but can be compensated for his share if they are removed or the allotment closed. The "right" to forage may or may not pertain here as it did in Hage's scenario. That may depend on if the permits on base property or base water. With water rights, assuming they are on public land, are not being taken away.
