Cumulative totals through 01-25-20, per the BLM roundup page for the Eagle Complex:
- 667 animals gathered
- 10 deaths (1.5%)
- 284 studs (42.8%)
- 379 mares (57.2%)
- 4 new foals (2019 foals counted as adults)
The proportions of studs and mares are now outside of statistical limits corresponding to 50% males / 50% females (n = 663, p-bar = .50). Why would more mares be found in the traps compared to studs?
The thriving ecological balance is now only 933 wild horses away (1,700 horses to be gathered − 100 to be returned − 667).
