Eagle Roundup Day 16

Cumulative totals through 01-31-20, per the BLM roundup page for the Eagle Complex:

  • 949 animals gathered
  • 12 deaths (1.3%)
  • 417 studs (44.1%)
  • 528 mares (55.9%)
  • 4 new foals (2019 foals counted as adults)

The proportions of studs and mares are still outside of statistical limits corresponding to n = 945 and p-bar = .50.  These results do not look like they came from a process that produces 50% males and 50% females.  Why?

The thriving ecological balance is now only 651 wild horses away (1,700 horses to be gathered − 100 to be returned − 949).
