Great Falls, MT, November 7, 2026 —
Montana Governor Greg Gianforte is taking steps to appeal a judicial injunction that halted a bison grazing permit. The appeal has been filed with the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals.
The legal challenge centers on a specific bison grazing permit. The details regarding the original issuance of this permit, the nature of the injunction, and the specific reasons cited by the court for imposing it were not provided in the available information. Furthermore, the names of the parties involved in the initial injunction or the specific legal grounds for the appeal were not disclosed.
The governor’s office has indicated its intent to seek the reversal of the injunction. This action signals the administration’s commitment to the permit’s status and potentially to the broader land management or conservation policies it represents. The outcome of this appeal could have implications for future land use decisions and the management of bison populations in Montana.
Information regarding the timeline for the appeal process or any potential impact on ongoing bison management activities was not immediately available. The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals will now review the case, which could involve arguments from both sides before a decision is made.
