Way I see it this is a simple situation that has been made complex.
The simple part is the Rancher is using public land illegally by allowing his cattle to eat off Federal Land thus he is illegally harvesting off the land. A comparison would be like fishing in public waterways without a fishing license.
Where this situation has been complicated is first with the Feds brutally beating and tasering non-violent protestors. Then the situation became more complex when armed militias enterred the scene. And yet more complex when the Politicians politicized the event in the mainstream media, especially with the "Domestic Terrorist" epithet.
Simplest solution in my opinion would be for the Militias to either put away their guns or to leave entirely and the Federal Agents to back off since they are just agitating the crowd. This would take care of the Violence Possibility which as far as I can see is a possibility for either side to unleash and is the most important thing to prevent here.
If the Violence Possibility is dealt with appropriately then I think things become a lot easier to work out. Gotta keep in mind the Rancher did very clearly break the Law, and not just once, this is an on-going thing. He simply needs to be served his papers and then things can be worked out from there in court.
