Re: Pasturing of Stock
Dear Mr. Neely:
I am writing to express our understanding and agreement concerning the USFS locating up to 10
horses or mules ( "stock ") on the horse pasture property located in Eagle, Colorado which is currently
owned by Eagle County. The property is more fully identified on the attached Exhibit "A" to this
letter ( "Property "). Eagle County understands that the USFS will locate stock to graze on the Property
commencing May 10, 2011 and the stock will be removed from the Property no later than December 1,
2011 ( "Term ").
In exchange for the USFS pasturing the stock on the Property, USFS will be responsible for managing
the ditch (Ditch #2) and irrigation on the Property during the Term hereof. In addition, during the
Term, USFS will also be responsible for weed control on the Property.
USFS shall maintain its own insurance or self- insurance during the Term and the parties agree that
USFS is using the Property at its own risk and Eagle County is not responsible for any damage or
injury resulting from the use of the Property.
Should either party desire to terminate this arrangement for any reason before December 1, 2011,
written notice at least 30 days in advance of such termination shall be given to the other party.
Notice should be given to:
