US judge: Nevada rancher's son must pay $587K, remove cattle

LAS VEGAS (AP) — A lawyer for a Nevada rancher whose father fought the government for decades over grazing and property rights said Thursday he'll appeal a federal judge's order to pay $587,000 and remove his livestock from federal lands by the end of the month.
Mark Pollot, attorney for Wayne N. Hage, said in a brief email that they disagree with the judge's decision and that he was working on a notice of appeal.
Hage is the son of cattleman and longtime Sagebrush Rebellion figure Wayne Hage, who died in 2006.
The father's fight began in 1991, more than a decade after the movement to wrest control of federal land got its start in the late 1970s and was labeled the Sagebrush Rebellion. But the elder Hage became iconic among ranchers and cattlemen who chafe at grazing and use restrictions on vast expanses of land under government control in states in the West.
