Ranchers react to ruling on grazing permits

Posted on September 16, 2010July 3, 2025 by Dissent

Laura Lundquist reports:

Idaho ranchers expressed disappointment with Monday’s U.S. District Court ruling requiring the Bureau of Land Management to release the names and addresses of grazing permit holders.

“We see this as an invasion of privacy,” said Wyatt Prescott, executive vice president of the Idaho Cattlemen’s Association.

Stephen Miller of the Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press has more on this case and the privacy concerns:

The bureau was primarily concerned with the privacy of family-owned or closely-held ranching businesses. It claimed that the disclosure of individuals’ addresses, paired with already public information regarding the size of herds, could result in inferences being made regarding the individual’s personal finances.
