Grazing rights are weird. A lot of them pre-date the existence of any sort of federal control of the lands. They function as private rights that were then managed by the BLM, although SCOTUS considers them public they do not function anything like that nor are rooted in public chain of custody. You have to pay a fee almost like a property tax to realize them, but the grazing rights themselves are bought and sold privately and generally rooted in a genesis as privately homesteaded limited private property rights.
