The tiny allotment offers 21 active AUMs on 274 public acres, according to the Allotment Master Report, equivalent to 6.4 wild horses per thousand public acres.
Equivalent stocking rate = 21 ÷ 12 ÷ (274 ÷ 1,000) ≅ 6.4
This is far more helpful than anything peddled by the advocates because it
- Defies the carrying capacity narrative
- Destroys the rationale for their darting programs
- Discloses their role as accessories to the ranching agenda
The target stocking rate across all HMAs is one wild horse per thousand acres (27,000 animals on 27 million acres), far less than what the land can support.
A draft CX for grazing permit reauthorization has been copied to the project folder in ePlanning.
Comments are due by December 27.
The nearest HMA is Pokegama, about five miles to the northwest.
