Feds Tell Texas Ranchers the Government Owns....

Their Land Despite Owners Having Deeds, and Paying Property Taxes on the Land.

A group of Texas ranchers are furious after representatives from the federal Bureau of Land Management made claims that their land doesn’t actually belong to the ranchers, but rather it belonged to the federal government. The federal officials claim that despite each rancher having a deed for their property and having paid property taxes on the land each year, the land should never have been sold, as it is actually federal land. However, at least one rancher, Ken Aderholt, isn’t giving up his property without a fight. Aderholt notes that his family has lived and raised cattle on the land for the past 70 years, even building a home on the property that the government now claims it owns.

The Blaze reports that rancher Ken Aderholt received a phone call from a federal Bureau of Land Management representative in early 2014 that sent shivers down his spine. The representative claimed that 625 acres of Aderholt’s property actually belonged to the federal government. The representative said the discovery was made when the government began “redefining” boundary lines along the Red River, which runs along the border between Oklahoma and Texas. Aderholt notes that by redefining the boundary to half-a-mile inland from the river, it significantly affects the size of his property and even his home.

“After redefining the boundary to a half mile inland from the river, the BLM has claimed up to 625 of his property’s 1,250 acres.”
