(Brian Maffly | The Salt Lake Tribune) Cattle graze on Garfield County's Aquarius Plateau in the Dixie National Forest. Citing the importance of livestock to Garfield's culture, economy and heritage, county leaders passed a resolution to preserve grazing on state trust lands and are considering an ordinance that would obligate private property owners to accommodate historic cattle operations.
