The feedlot, sometimes referred to as a concentrated animal feeding operation (CAFO), covers 160 acres northeast of Fallon, NV and has a capacity of 3,200 wild horses and burros, according to the Determination of NEPA Adequacy signed on November 15.
The expansion will add 238 acres on three adjacent parcels owned by the contractor, increasing the capacity to 7,600 wild horses and burros.
