PUBLIC LANDS: Bundy sold 1,300 cattle even as he fought federal roundup
Phil Taylor, E&E reporter Greenwire: Wednesday, March 9, 2016
Nevada rancher Cliven Bundy sold close to 1,300 cattle over the past five years and found business in a handful of states even as the federal government sought to purge his herd from public lands, according to state records reviewed by Greenwire.
Bundy sold or transferred cattle to nearly two dozen recipients in Nevada, California, Arizona, Utah and Kansas, according to branding records kept by Nevada's Department of Agriculture.
Nearly half the cattle were trucked about 100 miles northeast from Bundy's Bunkerville ranch to an auction yard in Cedar City, Utah, and 165 cattle were shipped west to a sale yard near Bakersfield, Calif.
Most cattle, about 800, ended up in Utah, according to the records. Wasn't there a lien on those cattle?
George Jessop, of Virgin, Utah, took title to more Bundy cattle -- 153 -- than any other single buyer. All his acquisitions occurred in 2014, the year the Bureau of Land Management tried but failed to impound Bundy's herd. ...............

A FLDS Church stronghold of Hildale/Colorado City (near LaVoy's house) polygamist founder was Joseph Smith Jessop. Anyway, this guy can legally transport cattle: George Jessop is an active carrier operating under USDOT Number 1216594.
