Ranchers and livestock representatives in New Mexico are criticizing an idea advanced by the state's tribes to restore bison to a national grassland.

State Rep. James Roger Madalena, a Democrat representing the Jemez Pueblo district, introduced the measure which calls for state and federal managers to consider the idea. He did it on behalf of tribes who own bison and their growing herds require a space such as the Kiowa National Grassland, he said.

Several tribes in the state belong to the Inter-Tribal Bison Cooperative.
