Just to add a bit, a lot of cattle grazing area is just vast swaths of federal land ranchers release cattle on. Historically the cowboys would sort the cattle by their brands and then to the slaughter houses. The land has no other use and are extremely vast and remote areas. On the show Alaska the Last Frontier, they use federal land to let their cows graze during the summer.
