A Ninth Circuit panel reversed a District of Montana decision on Thursday, ruling that the U.S. Forest Service was correct to restrict cattle grazing in the Dry Cottonwood Allotment of Beaverhead-Deerlodge National Forest, after it reduced grazing opportunities to manage the inland native fish habitat. 
The plaintiffs, 2-Bar Ranch Limited Partnership, Broken Circle Ranch Company Inc., and R Bar N Ranch LLC, claimed that the Service should not have reduced their grazing and should not have compounded different grazing plans.  The defendants, including the U.S. Forest Service, U.S. Department of Agriculture secretary Thomas Vilsack, and other individuals associated with the forest service alleged that the grazing was harming the plants and destroying specifically stream habitats, and that the Forest Plan was clear.
