Silver King Quiz

Four years have passed since new rules went into effect regarding the labeling of range-fed beef.  Consumers, angered by the way wild horses were being treated, refused to buy the product, putting the public-lands ranchers out of business, including those at Silver King HMA.  With the livestock gone, by how much can the AML be increased?

A. 84

B. 313

C. 850

D. 1,645

E. 2,004

Answer: E (24,028 ÷ 12).

That would be in addition to the miniscule 128 wild horses already allowed by plan.
