§ 35-45-101 — Determination of grazing rights

To prevent dissension and
breach of the peace, the question as to the kind of livestock, whether cattle or
sheep, that shall have the preferred or better right to graze upon any particular
portion of the public domain within this state shall be determined according to the
use made thereof during the last grazing season, whether such use was as cattle or
sheep range and whether the same was used as a spring, summer, fall, winter, or
other kind of range; but a single instance of grazing or herding certain kind of
livestock on any such range over the protest of others in prior use and occupancy
thereof, who graze a different kind of livestock, will not confer a better right.
