Sulfur Roundup Over

The incident concluded on August 24 with 422 horses captured, 401 shipped, 13 released and six dead according to the daily reports.

There were two unaccounted-for animals.

The sidebar at the gather page says 403 horses shipped, bringing the count to zero.

The capture and removal goals were 420 and 360, respectively.

The death rate was 1.4%.

The average daily take was 35.2.

The capture total included 139 stallions, 196 mares and 87 foals.

Youngsters represented 20.6% of the animals gathered.

Of the adults, 41.5% were male and 58.5% were female.

The July 31 schedule indicates that 30 mares will be treated with GonaCon Equine and be returned to the range with 30 stallions but this is not discussed at the gather page.

The roundup supported three tenets of rangeland management.
