The incident concluded on June 24 with 240 horses captured, 201 shipped, 31 released and eight dead.
There were no unaccounted-for animals according to these figures.
The daily reports indicate 238 horses captured.
The death rate was 3.3%.
Foals represented 11.7% of the animals gathered, consistent with a herd growth rate of seven percent per year.
Of the adults, 56.1% were male and 43.9% were female.
The May 16 report said 18 jennies were treated with fertility control of unspecified type, but no burros were caught.
The June 14 report said 31 animals were released, but their sex was not specified.
The June 3 schedule said ten animals would be treated with GonaCon Equine.
So the horses released probably included mares that received two doses of the pesticide less than 90 days apart, violating the directions for use in the 2017 labeling amendment.
The post-gather population probably isn’t much larger than 31, given that the pre-gather population was thought to be around 230.
The double-dose of GonaCon may mean the herd gets smaller for a few years if it recovers at all, giving the permittees primary use of the HMA.
