    Application Details


    The distinction between a sublease and a pasture agreement is the degree of control exerted and exercised by the lessee. With a sublease the lessee passes control of the lease to the sublessee. The sublessee grazes their own livestock on the lessee’s lease. The sublessee cares for their own livestock, maintains the range improvements, and provides the day to day supervision of the premises and the livestock on the lease. With a pasture agreement the lessee takes another person’s livestock onto their lease and cares for them. The lessee may graze some of their own livestock while caring for another person’s livestock. The lessee is still in full control of the lease, the premises and all livestock. The lessee maintains the range improvements.
