Cumulative totals through 01-28-20, per the BLM roundup page for the Eagle Complex:
- 855 animals gathered
- 12 deaths (1.4%)
- 379 studs (44.5%)
- 472 mares (55.5%)
- 4 new foals (2019 foals counted as adults)
The proportions of studs and mares are still outside of statistical limits corresponding to 50% males / 50% females (n = 851, p-bar = .50). Is the contractor targeting family bands, whose mares are now heavily pregnant?
The thriving ecological balance is now only 745 wild horses away (1,700 horses to be gathered − 100 to be returned − 855).
