76-16-403. Procedure if reduction in grazing privileges necessary. (1) If a reduction in grazing privileges becomes necessary, operators with temporary permits will be reduced on a proportionate basis prior to any reduction to any holder of grazing preference.
(2) Reductions of grazing preference for individual members that result from actions beyond the control of the state district or the board of directors of a state district or as a result of actions or of the failure to take appropriate actions by the holder of the grazing preference in question do not require a general reduction in grazing preference, and the state district may not be compelled to require proportionate reductions in grazing preference, by the membership of the state district.
