Yesterday’s news release said the incident concluded on October 23 but the figures for the last day weren’t posted until this morning.
The daily reports indicate 440 horses captured, 439 shipped, none released and two dead, with one more horse processed than captured.
The sidebar at the gather page shows 441/439/0/2 with no unaccounted-for animals.
The capture and removal goals were identical, 400 each.
The death rate was 0.5%.
The capture total included 137 stallions, 203 mares and 100 foals.
Youngsters represented 22.7% of the animals gathered, consistent with a herd growth rate of 18% per year.
Of the adults, 40.3% were male and 59.7% were female, not what you’d expect in a sample of 340 horses from a random process centered at 50% males / 50% females.
The HA is unfit for wild horses, but the allotments that overlap it can support livestock equivalent to 5.7 wild horses per thousand public acres.
