Cumulative totals for the Silver King roundup, as of 12/06/18:
- 625 animals gathered
- 11 animal deaths
- 0 animals returned to range
The pre-gather population density, per the original announcement, was 2.1 horses per thousand acres, about one fourth the population density of livestock in Nevada.
The post-gather population density of 0.4 animals per thousand acres means the HMA will almost be a horse-free zone, good news for the public-lands ranchers.
