Three allotments in Pathfinder’s Stewart Creek Unit offer a combined 2,288 active AUMs on 21,183 public acres, equivalent to 191 wild horses or nine wild horses per thousand public acres.
Refer to Bell Springs, Jawbone and Larson Knolls in the report for Stewart Creek allotments managed by the Rawlins Field Office.
Your faithful public servants claim that public lands in the western U.S. can only support one wild horse per thousand acres (25,600 animals on 25.6 million acres according to the last page of the 2025 population dataset).
The advocates, defeated a long time ago and now in the tank for the ranchers, bolster the narrative with their darting programs.
