Grazing rights
Grazing rights is the right of a user to allow their livestock to feed (graze) in a given area.
United States
Grazing rights have never been codified in
ranchers' perceived rights to graze their cattle as the western range deteriorated with overuse.[2]
In 1934, the
Taylor Grazing Act formally set out the federal government's powers and policy on grazing federal lands in the Western United States by establishing the Division of Grazing and procedures for issuing permits to graze federal lands for a fixed period of time. The Division of Grazing was renamed the US Grazing Service in 1939 and then merged in 1946 with the General Land Office to become the Bureau of Land Management, which along with the United States Forest Service oversees public lands grazing in 16 western states today.[3] However, grazing was never established as a legal right in the U.S.,[4] and the Taylor Grazing Act authorized only the permitted use of lands designated as available for livestock grazing while specifying that grazing permits "convey no right, title, or interest" to such lands.[5] Although the regulations stipulated by the Taylor Grazing Act apply only to grazing on Bureau of Land Management lands, the Chief of the Forest Service is authorized to permit or suspend grazing on Forest Service administered property, and many Forest Service grazing regulations resemble those of the Taylor Grazing Act.[6]
Dalmatia
In
judgments about grazing rights are a fundamental part of the jurisprudence. The oldest court verdict in Dalmatia in a court case about grazing rights dates from the 14th century. It is a usufruct of property, which belongs to someone else, or it is a use of a property. Use of someone else's property requires a contract
(written or not) about the usufruct. The court may declare parts of the contract as unlawful.
If there is no contract,
