if I recall correctly, in my research the other day I found out they could.This is also incorrect.
Bundy was supposed to maintain fencing, not BLM. (He also "continually failed to do so", which is why his cattle were spread over 3 times the land he had ever had permits for).
Since the land is supposed to be under the control of the BLM, why was Bundy required to maintain the fencing? BLM has control over land at the Mexican border and maintains fencing there. The real question here is who is to be master! The gov't simply won't allow any defectors from it's edicts.

he is not responsible for it
at times the BLM has contracted with ranchers to provide the labor
but overall it is a BLM responsibility for fencing and noxious weed removal
and such
