BLM said today that the gather was suspended due to weather conditions that allowed the mustangs to move to higher elevations, evading capture.
As of yesterday, 294 excess horses had been removed from their home range, with nine deaths and no animals returned.
The operation will resume in January, according to the news release, when the horses are expected to return to the valleys.
