Youngsters represented 10.3% of the animals gathered.

General

The location of the trap site is not known.

The HMA is not subject to permitted grazing.

Seven mares were treated with GonaCon Equine on Day 10.  Given that they were not immediately released, a second dose is probably in the works.

There are no such plans for the burros.
