Mimbres, NM, June 11— Longtime residents and visitors of the Mimbres valley may not be accustomed to seeing grazing cattle, as the 360,000-acre Mimbres/Sapillo/Powderhorn/Sheppard allotment was allowed to be rested from grazing for the past decade or longer. 

Now, Wilderness District Ranger Brian Stultz is preparing to reauthorize the allotment for grazing 235 head of cattle. Rangeland fencing and other grazing infrastructure is being repaired and maintained to prepare the allotment to receive cattle. While some of these facilities are not in serviceable condition, grazing is likely to begin in localized areas and ramp up to include the full allotment over a period of years. The public should use caution when driving, as livestock may be found on area roads. Please also help keep livestock where they belong by leaving gates as found – if open leave open, if closed, please close the gate after passing through it. 

 SILVER CITY, NM — The Future Forge Makerspace is thrilled to reflect on a wonderful start to the summer season, beginning with an incredible turnout at the 30th Annual Silver City Blues Festival held at Gough Park. Our interactive booth became a hub of creativity and curiosity, drawing hundreds of visitors who experienced hands-on demonstrations, learned about our mission, and discovered all the ways they can get involved.

From children to adults experimenting with basic 3D printing, the weekend was a vibrant reminder of how creativity and technology bring people together. "We were truly honored to be part of such a beloved community event," said a representative from The Future Forge. "The energy, the conversations, and the enthusiasm for making and learning were just amazing."
