They hit our cows and continue on.” Gannuscio said some of the ranchers have $15,000 bulls. He questioned who would pay for hitting, killing them and leaving them lay beside the road.“If the county wants a fence on both sides, we would support it. We’d find a way to get our cattle to the other side. But the problem we run into,” Gannuscio stated, “is the county wants us to pay for it, but the state law says ‘Fence Us Out.’ So who’s going to pay for the million-dollar cattle parts across the county while we maintain an open range state?” Gannuscio asked referring to cattle being hit and killed by speeding motorists.The agenda item was approved directing Direct Development Services, Public Works, and the County Attorney’s office to review the livestock proposal and return to the BOS within 60 days with recommended development. It should address proposed development joining, entering or affecting state and federal grazing allotment and privately-owned ranches in unincorporated areas of the county.BOS Chair Travis Lingenfelter read two proclamations at the meeting. The first proclaimed November 11 as Veterans Day in Mohave County.The second declared November as Alzheimer’s Awareness and Family Caregiver Month. An Achievement of Excellence in Procurement award was presented to the Mohave County Board of Supervisors on behalf of the Procurement Department from the National Procurement Institute, Inc. Director Tara Acton said they have received that award 21 times in a row, this time by scoring 150 points out of a possible 200.<figure><img src="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?type=thumbnail_580x000&amp;url=2Dnvjg_1GrHu0g900" alt="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?url=2Dnvjg_1GrHu0g900" width="2048" height="1491" ><figcaption>The 2026 Achievement of Excellence Award was presented to the Mohave County Board of Supervisors on behalf of the Procurement Department Monday.
