They would have an AML of 1,438 and a stocking rate of 7.4 wild horses per thousand public acres.
The allotments, located west of Bruneau, ID, offer a combined 17,251 active AUMs on 195,240 public acres, according to the Allotment Master Report.
The bureaucrats and ranchers claim 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 bolster the narrative with their darting programs.
If it was an HMA, the AML would be around 200 and 1,238 wild horses would be consigned to off-range holding because of permitted grazing.
