Ranch to be drilled

By: Garrett

A rancher with more than 3300 acres of land probably will not be able to save his ranch from natural gas driling. The rancher said that the area to be drilled is a calving area for a local elk herd. Protests filed with the BLM have failed to persuade them to remove a 2060 acre subsurface parcel from a lease sale. The ranch may also be up for mineral developement as well as natural gas drilling.
