The rangeland eugenicists wander the desert looking for targets of opportunity.
The names of their nonprofits give you the impression that they’re protecting wild horses but they’re really protecting ranchers.
One of them is different, however.
The Pine Nut Mountains Herd Area, where the battle plays out, encircles the Buckeye Allotment, among others.
American Wild Horse Conservancy, LLC holds 75% of the active AUMs in Buckeye according to the allotment master report.
The authorization use report gives the livestock type as cattle.
The news release for vacant allotments in Uintah County said you must control a base property and own livestock to get a permit.
Given that American Wild Horse Conservancy has a permit (#2700562), it must own the cattle.
The managing member of the LLC is American Wild Horse Preservation Campaign, according to the Nevada Business Portal, also known as the Campaign Against America’s Wild Horses. Search for entity number E5230582020-2 or business ID NV20201732447.
So while CAAWH tells you it’s protecting wild horses, it’s running cattle in their lawful home while its partner organizations drive the horse numbers down to protect them.

The agency issued its final decision today, revoking the permits granted in 2022.
Only production‑oriented livestock operations qualify for grazing permits, according to the news release, and the agency lacks the statutory authority to allow bison on federal grazing allotments for conservation and ecological restoration.
The about-face, which may be rooted in politics, appeases ranchers in Montana and sends a strong signal to those who would establish conservancies on public lands by purchasing or leasing base properties and flipping the preference to wild horses.
Western Horse Watchers opposes the decision and urges American Prairie to explore all options for reinstatement of the permits.
