19 yrs of BLM violations, enforcement decision finally made !
1) 5 years is the Federal limitation.
2) the maximum fine provided is only $500.00 (from what I can find)

§4170.2-1 Penal provisions under the Taylor Grazing Act. Under section 2 of the Act any person who willfully commits an act prohibited under §4140.1(b), or who willfully violates approved special rules and regulations is punishable by a fine of not more than $500.
3) the Fed Govt has probably already spent several million.
why not just give this man free use of the land that he has already been using at no cost for 19 years and its free use was probably a large part of what made America what it once was for decades or centuries before the BLM folk started charging for its use.
his cattle provide fertilizer for the plants , ground aeration for the plants , and unless each of his cows also has a calf he cant be charged for just the cow.
the BLM page clearly states the following

Federal Grazing Fee
The Federal grazing fee, which applies to Federal lands in 16 Western states on public lands managed by the BLM and the U.S. Forest Service, is adjusted annually and is calculated by using a formula originally set by Congress in the Public Rangelands Improvement Act of 1978. Under this formula, as modified and extended by a presidential Executive Order issued in 1986, the grazing fee cannot fall below $1.35 per animal unit month (AUM); also, any fee increase or decrease cannot exceed 25 percent of the previous year’s level. (An AUM is the amount of forage needed to sustain one cow and her calf, one horse, or five sheep or goats for a month.) The grazing fee for 2014 is $1.35 per AUM, the same level as it was in 2013.
this could actually lead to a skirmish between any enforcement officials and the militia organizations who have vowed to protect this man and his property.
