Brown maintains that the author of the letter, Andy Kerr, has declared war on the livestock industry. An outspoken opponent of public lands livestock grazing, Kerr previously stated: "Advocating better grazing of the arid West is like seeking better beating of little children. Their battle is better grazing. Our battle must be no grazing. Kerr was also a leader in the .forest war; that effectively destroyed the timber industry in the northwest, indicated Brown.

There is no buy out program, stressed Brown. There is no funding to cover the costs of conducting a buy out program.

Stabilization of the, livestock industry and the retention of grazing on federal lands will do more to protect the market value of ranches and allotments for present, future and refiring ranchers, pointed opt Brown. ' Rallying in support of the recommended approaches also represents a much better alternative for livestock producers operating throughout the west than the proposed sellout program, explained the ranchers association represen. tative. Without continued access to public lands grazing, private land ranching in the western United States would no longer be economically feasible, emphasized the ranchers association representative. Brown encouraged ranchers operating throughout the entup state to continue to support the livestock industry and rural communities in Utah.
