The battle with the BLM

 I'm not sure where to even begin... This was one of the most scary, stressful, spiritual, crazy, life-changing experiences! There were snipers, cow thieves, several cows shot or ran to death, taser guns, beatings, threats, etc. There were also many many prayers, faith, miracles, and support from thousands of people! It was as if it was all a dream. A crazy dream that you wouldn't think would happen in real life, only in the movies. The BLM came with a goal to take all of my dad's cows, and take over the public lands, and take his rights (and ours) away. But there is power in prayers, there is power in numbers, and with the help of these thousands of people, we were able to win that battle. Is it over? No, but my parents and brothers have done an amazing job educating people with hopes that we can come together as a nation and stand up for our rights. It's time to stop letting the government walk all over us. It's time to take a stand! I am so thankful for the amazing example that my family has been to me. They are so strong, and faithful, and have taught me so much! I am thankful for my dad for teaching us right. He has such amazing strength, he is an incredible man!

 

 

Here are a few of the people that came with signs and supported us.

This was right after Ammon was tasered. He too has such amazing strength, and is such an amazing example to everyone around him!

 Dave was beat on the side of the road for "trespassing", and being a threat, though he was on the public road holding an ipad. They (the BLM) attacked him, beat him, and took him to jail in Vegas, after they held him and tortured him for hours. They also threatened Ryan and Arden that they would shoot them if came any closer trying to save Dave.

Here is a great picture of Arden.

 After we were finally able to get the BLM to pack up and leave us alone, we were able to rescue the cattle. Several calves' moms had died, and so we had many people volunteer to come help bottle feed and take care of them.

 Here is one of my dad...

This is a picture of us when we were younger fighting this same battle.

 We are so thankful for all of the support we have had!!
