It would have an AML of 710 and a stocking rate of three wild horses per thousand public acres.
The allotment offers 8,518 active AUMs on 234,680 public acres adjacent to Canyonlands National Park, according to the Allotment Master Report.
The bureaucrats and ranchers tell us that public lands in the western U.S. can only support one wild horse per thousand acres (27,000 animals on 27 million acres).
The advocates indicate their agreement through their darting programs.
If it was an HMA, the AML would be around 235 and 475 wild horses would be consigned to off-range holding because of permitted grazing.
The Nature Conservancy receives all of the authorized forage in the allotment, on which it runs cattle, probably in connection with Dugout Ranch.
