MSGA, MASGD &PLC File Brief in Grazing Allotment Case

Montana Stockgrowers Association, Montana Public Lands Council, Montana Association of State Grazing Districts, along with the Southwestern Montana Stockmen’s Association, and National Public Lands Council filed our amicus brief on March 24^th, in the case regarding two grazing allotments in the Gravelly Mountains.  The case was brought forward by the Gallatin Wildlife Association, with claims that grazing would cause irreparable harm to grizzly bears and bighorn sheep.  This case would directly affect permittees Helle Livestock and Rebish/Konen livestock, as well have potential national significance.  The case is being heard in front of U.S. District Court Judge Brian Morris.  Judge Morris denied the original injunction and the case will proceed with oral arguments scheduled for May 26^th in Great Falls.  The briefs in the case are available for review below, including briefs filed by the Montana Farm Bureau Federation, Montana Wool Growers Association, American Sheep Industry and Helle Livestock and Rebish/Konen Livestock.
