the colonial state wanted to get tax from everything, including animals.So for grazing animals , they used to make people pay taxes.

This system was so very strict that no one could do anything. Pastoralists had enough financial burden on them .The high taxes and the new rule named the Grazing act Increased this burden very badly . This was why , pastoralists hated the grazing tax.
The Taylor Grazing Act (“Act”) is a U.S. federal legislation enacted in 1934. This Act was the first federal effort to regulate grazing on federal public lands. The Act establishes grazing districts and uses a permitting system to manage livestock grazing in the districts in order to improve rangeland conditions and regulate their use.
The Act authorizes the Secretary of the Interior (Secretary) to establish grazing districts of vacant, unappropriated and unreserved land from any parts of the public domain, excluding Alaska, which are not national forests, parks and monuments, Indian reservations, railroad grant lands, or revested Coos Bay Wagon Road grant lands, and which are valuable chiefly for grazing and raising forage crops. The Secretary is responsible for protecting, administering, regulating, and improving of the grazing districts. S/he can adopt regulations and enter into cooperative agreements necessary to accomplish the purposes of the Act.
