Flipping the Buckeye Preference to Horses

The allotment master report gives authorization #2700562 for the Campaign Against America’s Wild Horses.

The authorization use report indicates 267 cattle on a 5.5-month grazing season.

How many horses would the resource support?

The livestock type and grazing season would change but not the AUMs.

AUMs for horses = AUMs for livestock

The grazing season would be 12 months.

Let x = number of horses.

12x = 5.5(267)

Solve for x.

x = 122

The permit would be written for 122 wild horses.
