The operation was not announced but the BLM warned of problems back in June due to unauthorized watering of wild horses and burros.
In the latest action, the agency removed 36 burros at or near the Sinbad HMA in central Utah because they became accustomed to water that was hauled in.
Captured animals were taken to the off-range corrals in Axtell.
