Bundy Ranch

Bundy Ranch is a large tract of public land in Nevada that became the center of a confrontation in 2014 between rancher Cliven Bundy and federal authorities. Bundy had been grazing his cattle there without paying fees required by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), leading to a standoff over government land use. The situation drew attention to land rights and government authority issues, with supporters defending Bundy’s claim to graze cattle freely, while critics argued it was a matter of enforcing existing regulations. The incident highlighted ongoing debates about the regulation and use of public lands in the United States.
