The allotment, located about 30 miles north of Casper, offers 569 active AUMs on 5,061 public acres according to the allotment master report.
It’s in the Improve category, suggesting that your stewards of the public lands are not taking their responsibilities seriously.
The management plan assigns zero AUMs to wild horses.
How many could live there?
The forage assigned to livestock is equivalent to 47 wild horses, or 9.3 per thousand public acres.
Why is this important?
Your faithful public servants claim that rangelands in the western U.S. can only support one wild horse per thousand acres (27,000 animals on 27 million acres).
The advocates give their assent through their darting programs.
If the allotment was an HMA, the AML would be 5 and 42 wild horses would be consigned to off-range holding because of permitted grazing.
BLM allotments in Wyoming support livestock equivalent to 158,425 wild horses on 17,312,214 public acres, or 9.2 wild horses per thousand public acres.
Wild horses can be placed on public lands not identified for their use by acquiring base properties associated with grazing allotments and flipping the preference to horses.
