Texas rancher Ken Aderholt is fuming at the notion that the Bureau of Land Management could take the land he owns that has been in his family for generations, according to News Channel 6 Now. The red river land in Harrold Texas is where his family has run cattle since 1941, but now the BLM is claiming the land was never actually theirs, saying Texas should never have given his family a deed to the 1250 acres.
The BLM wants to take about 600 acres in what is widely known as "land grabs," under a bill passed by the government.
"It has been running through generations and handed on down to me," Aderholt said. "The BLM is saying we should have never had a deed to it. That Texas should have never produced that deed."
The land in question runs along the state border and the BLM is deciding whether or not to take it from Aderhold, who has no intentions of giving up the land without a fight.
The rancher admits that the BLM does have a right to the gradient boundary, which the BLM claim is about a half mile inland, about 600 of Aderholt's acres.
"It varies, the way the water washes and cuts into different properties, but it has always been just a little slither of property," Aderholt said.
"They could own it, they could turn it to the public, they could condemn it, they could sell it back to me," Aderholt said of the BLM, according to Info Wars.
"It is a land grab," Aderholt said, according to Truth Revolt. "As far as I am concerned, this is private property."
