Court judgments against Bundy's claims

The Cliven Bundy family owns a 160-acre farm southwest of Bunkerville, which serves as headquarters and base
property for the family's ranching operation on nearby public domain lands. The farm property was purchased
by the Bundy family in 1948, after they moved from Bundyville, Arizona, and Bundy has claimed that he inherited
"pre-emptive grazing rights" on public domain land because some of his maternal grandmother's ancestors had kept
cattle in the Virgin Valley beginning in 1877. Bundy alternatively argued in legal cases that federal grazing
rules infringe on his states' rights.

Bunty家族主要的抗辯主張為他的外祖母的祖先早在1877年就已在國有主地上放牧，
所以他繼承了這項所謂的權利，但這項主張在內華達與聯邦訴訟均敗訴。
