In NM that's pretty good. I'm willing to bet if he was given ownership of some of that land he could improve it to the point it wasn't insane to do.

- jessaustin 8y agoNo, I'm not suggesting that my competitors be "given" vast amounts of capital goods. b^) You're right that it is pretty good for that state. He said the rule of thumb was one head per square mile per (inch of rain per year). He was bragging about being from some blessed place where they got 12" rather than 8". But the point is that the vegetation is sparse. Even if he raised the capital to purchase land, the desert will only support so many cattle.
- ticviking 8y agoFair, and I'd want the land to be sold, at a fairly steep price to encourage people to do something with it. I'm with the amount of costs the federal government is passing to Utah for wildfire management on federal land anyhow, so that's def biasing my opinion.
