Two tribal members have submitted bids in response to a Request for Feral Horse Roundup Services issued by the Grazing Board, according to a story dated March 8 by Native Sun News Today.
The current population is thought to be between 2,500 to 3,000 animals.
The horses rob forage, which sells for $26.75 per AUM, from livestock operators.
After the horses are gathered, the contractor will be responsible for transporting them to the tribal rodeo grounds for an impoundment process of at least five days.
Unclaimed animals will be sent to the Billings Livestock Commission for sale.
The reservation covers approximately 444,000 acres in southeastern Montana and is headquartered in Lame Deer.
