South Steens Gather Page Doubles as News Release?

The subtitle says “Today the Bureau of Land Management announced tentative plans to gather wild horses within and immediately adjacent to the Souths Steens Herd Management Area in southeast Oregon.  A Determination of NEPA Adequacy is currently in progress and will determine gather implementation.”

The incident will be open to public observation unless the DNA, which was not announced, is successfully challenged.

The AML is 159 – 304.

The current population is 781 adults and 165 foals.

The June 3 schedule indicates that mares returned to the HMA will be treated with GonaCon but the DNA calls for PZP.
