“Let me tell you a little bit about the Sun family, ranchers in Wyoming. There are about 20 members of this family. They have several places they live on. They run more than 2,000 AUM's. However, when you divide it up by the number of family members, they run about 168 head of cattle per family. That is hardly the millionaires the Senator talks about; characterizes as the West being full of corporations. I want to tell you, come to Wyoming, come to Wyoming and show me all those corporations. Let me tell you a little bit about the Red Desert Grazing Association. These are a number of ranches that go together in association and their lease is one lease; and they have more than 2,000 animal units. But when you divide it up by the families involved, what you are talking about are families, who make up the bulk of this industry, trying to make a living with public lands. This idea of trying to characterize it as being all these big corporations simply is not accurate. It is not accurate.”
