Rangeland and Grazing

Grazing permitees are individuals or organizations who have acquired the privilege to graze livestock on National Forest or National Grasslands. The USDA Forest Service supports livestock grazing on National Forest System lands. We believe that grazing on these lands, if responsibly done, provides a valuable resource to the livestock owners, as well as the American people.

Allotment Annual Operating Instructions

Annual Operating Instructions (AOIs) provide a set of instructions that guide the management of forest land. The current year's AOIs are available on Pinyon Public, a file-sharing platform maintained by the Forest Service. These are organized by ranger district.
