Back in August I wrote about the Laxalt family and that Dominique was a tramp/itinerant sheepman. In 1934, the Taylor Grazing Act eliminated that practice. The Act changed grazing practices on federal lands wherein no policy was in place. This basically pertained the sagebrush lands of the intermountain west. It should be noted that federal lands administered by the national forest service had implemented their own grazing policy. In 1946, the Government Land Office and the Taylor Grazing Service were merged to form the Bureau of Land Management.
