The DNA Worksheet refers to the 2023 Record of Decision and Approved Resource Management Plan Amendment for Wild Horse Management, the “Other Document” listed at the beginning of Section B.
The worksheet says “Retain the Adobe Town HMA and manage AML in accordance with MA009,” followed by a reference to item MA005 in the ROD.
But item MA005 in Table 1 of the ROD states “Retain the White Mountain HMA and manage AML in accordance with MA009.”
In the Rock Springs RMP Amendments, White Mountain was retained in whole but Adobe Town was retained in part.
The figures for acreage in the worksheet don’t match those of item MA009 in the ROD.
The 2025 population dataset gives the acreage as 347,924 BLM, 357,849 total.
The final statement about preparing gather plans matches item MA013 in the ROD.
The worksheet indicates 24,789 AUMs for livestock in the HMA, equivalent to 2,066 wild horses, meaning the AML could go as high as 2,602.
The current AML tells you the HMA is managed primarily for livestock.
The advocates generally don’t challenge forage allocations, arguing that they should be enforced with pesticides, not helicopters.
