Recommendations from the October meeting have been posted. The Board could have included this idea in response to a plan promoted by left-wing news outlets such as NPR but didn’t:
Move intact families of wild horses from areas of contention with livestock and other land uses to remote wilderness areas. Assign their food and water to privately owned cattle and sheep. Manage their land principally for livestock, with a small allowance for wildlife. Increase permitted grazing as horses vacate the overlapping allotments.
Taking wild horses and burros off the range already has the support of the bureaucrats and ranchers, but the advocates would rather get rid of them with the Montana Solution instead of shipping them to other areas, including government feedlots.
