The incident concluded on February 28 with 85 burros captured, 82 shipped, none released and three dead.
There were no unaccounted-for animals.
The capture and removal goals were 100 each.
The death rate was 3.5%.
The average daily take was 17.0.
The capture total included 49 jacks, 32 jennies and four foals.
Youngsters represented 4.7% of the animals gathered, which may indicate a low—if not negative—herd growth rate.
Of the adults, 60.5% were male and 39.5% were female.
There were no plans to return any of the animals to the HMA, so the number removed fell short of the goal by 15.
Removed = Captured – Returned = 85 – 0 = 85
The operation supported three tenets of rangeland management.
