The Bureau of Land Management has finalized its decision to revoke American Prairie’s grazing permits on seven allotments in Phillips County, Montana, after reevaluating permits issued in 2022.
BLM says the bison are managed primarily for conservation and ecological restoration purposes — not as a production-oriented livestock operation under the Taylor Grazing Act.
The agency also clarified it is not removing hundreds of bison from Montana, only rescinding federal grazing authority under these permits.
