3. It boils down to this

The ranching has become a bit of a dinosaur. The next generations dont want to work 365 days a year 24 hours a day, birthing calves in -25 degree weather &etc, so the family businesses which has been around for generations are rusting away

The ranchers are selling out to developers from out of state and uber rich ones at that. Others are selling out to the APF, a very liberal bunch, again out of staters

This is pissing the dinosaurs off. It has very little to do with grazing. Montanans have tremendous animosity for out of staters, especially Calif. They will tell you that to your face with pride

And I dont think Trump can fix the problem
