Most of those guys are NOT ranchers in any sense. Ammon owns a diesel equipment service company, Ryan Bundy runs a building contracting firm. Finicum's "spread was run by his wife and foster kids. Many of the rest aren't even from ranch country. Most are wannabe gun totin' hombres and according to reports several are known criminals. Imagine the western redneck version of fraternity brother style hangers on and you have 1/2 of them.
