I don't understand why he can't keep his cows on his own land, pay the federal government to graze, pay to graze his cows on private land or sell the damn cows. Expecting your cows to eat for free is no different than expecting your brats to eat for free.

The reason he can't keep his cows on his own land is that the land he's ranching on is too "poor" to be really good cattle land. You can't run that many head per acre on that land. (We have the same situation down here in southern Arizona. People have tried to run cattle here since the Spanish owned the place, and it's never worked out well. Desert grasslands don't recover from grazing quickly, and the water is scarce, so you need hundreds and hundreds of acres to run a small herd.) He's got a mere 160 acres, which wouldn't support a herd half the size of the one he's got.
Of course, he *could* do what all the other ranchers do, which is pay his grazing fees (which are a paltry $1.37 per month per cow-calf pair, a *bargain*), but he "doesn't recognize the U.S. government even exists," so naturally, he thinks he can run his cattle on public land for free. Which takes money out of the pockets of taxpayers like you and me. You're entirely right - expecting his cattle to eat for free is exactly like expecting his kids to eat for free. But as he told everyone last evening, only "negroes" expect subsidies like that.
