The largest roundup of FY24 is scheduled to begin on December 28, with 2,875 wild horses to be captured and removed.
As of today, the incident has not been announced by the BLM and a gather page has not been created.
The Complex, consisting of three HMAs and four HAs, may get its name from the county in Nevada where the action will occur.
The roundup aligns with three tenets of rangeland management:
- Pest control
- Resource enforcement
- Rancher protection
The advocates, defeated a long time ago and now desperate for a seat at the table, eagerly participate in the process.
Alternative B in the Final EA was authorized by the Humboldt Field Office in a 2018 Decision, minus the sterilization option.
You can find these documents in the project folder on ePlanning.

Section 3.12 in the EA discusses livestock grazing and resource apportionment.
How much forage has been assigned to the ranchers in the lawful home of wild horses?
Don’t look to the advocates for answers.
