The total estimated on-range population as of March 1 was 82,883.
The number of animals in off-range holding was 61,915 as of November 26.
The latest schedule calls for the removal of 19,870 animals.
Let’s use round numbers: 83,000 on the range, 62,000 in off-range holding and 20,000 to be removed.
If everything goes according to plan, the on-range population will be 63,000 and the off-range population will be 82,000 at the end of FY24 (September 30).
The crossing of the two trend lines will be hailed as a major achievement by the bureaucrats and ranchers, along with some advocates.
