A listing on Zillow gives the address of a 40-acre parcel in Storey County as 40 SW 4nw4 S 16/18n/21e LOT 12S, Reno, NV 89521.

The map puts it on Sazarac Rd which is wrong.

The callouts for these properties should be read from right to left.

The first part tells you it’s in Section 16 of Township 18 North, Range 21 East.

The township-range blocks typically consist of 36 sections covering one square mile each.  The sections usually contain sixteen 40-acre parcels.

Zoom the viewer to the Reno area, turn on the Public Land Survey System layer and look for 18N 21E.

Zoom in on that block and look for Section 16.

Zoom in on Section 16.

The section can be divided into four quarters, each one containing four lots.

Lousetown Creek flows through it, probably from the southwest to northeast.

The listing tells you it’s the southwest lot in the northwest quarter.

The photo tells you it’s on the Virginia Range.

These parcels, although very remote, are zoned as single-family residences.

A management evaluation has been copied to the project folder for public review.

The Complex consists of the Bald Mountain, Callaghan, South Shoshone and northern end of the Hickison HMAs, as well as the North Shoshone HA.

The HA has been zeroed out and will be omitted from the analysis.

The HMAs are subject to permitted grazing.

Comments will be accepted through April 14.

The HMAP will ratify and reinforce resource allocations already on the books.

If the Complex was managed primarily for livestock before the project, it will be managed primarily for livestock after the project.

The House Agriculture Committee will consider the resolution on March 20.

The deadline to submit testimony is 7:00 AM.

Why would you go through the trouble and expense of ovariectomies when you can sterilize the mares with pesticides?

The advocates are the good guys and have all the answers—if you’re a rancher.

NEPA analysis is not necessary according to the Decision Record.

In the latest incident, wild horses moved onto private lands, breaking through fences and eating hay stored in pole barns.

The project description says they’re leaving the HMA due to insufficient food and water.

The ArcGIS Viewer indicates it’s subject to permitted grazing.

The agency did not indicate if California is a fence-out state.

A roundup does not appear on the latest schedule but may fall into the “Unassigned” category of the Emergency/Nuisance section.

The bill requires an appropriation of $555,000 in FY 2025-26 to help manage the state’s wild horse population according to the statement.

It allows the Department of Agriculture to start an immunocontraception program and creates a wild horse advisory committee.

Funding for a wild horse preserve was not discussed.

It’s a nonreproducing herd, and the males are actually geldings, but an article by the Craig Press refers to them as stallions.

“While the stallions are the big flashy ones that do all the big bites and everything, it’s those older mares that are really the bosses, and nobody crosses the boss mare.”

That might be true at the refuge but it’s not true in the wild, despite all the fairy tales you’ve heard from the advocates.

Problem is, it’s getting harder and harder to find herds that are truly wild.

Many in the public eye, especially those chronicled on socialist media, have been decimated by the government or ruined by the advocates.

To its credit, the refuge is based on the right concept—purchasing a base property and flipping the preference to horses—but the numbers fall short of the ideals.

This undated video begins with a view to the south, looking across Saguaro Lake into the Goldfield Allotment.

The horses come off the beach and run north into the Sunflower Allotment.

We know the Salt River advocates would never throw in with the ranchers so there must be some other reason they’re sterilizing the mares with PZP.
