Would Snowville Make a Good Wild Horse Preserve?

The allotment, at the north end of the Great Salt Lake, offers 7,707 active AUMs on 71,308 public acres, equivalent to 642 wild horses or nine wild horses per thousand public acres.

The allotment master report puts it in the Maintain category.

Your faithful public servants claim that public lands in the western U.S. can only support one wild horse per thousand acres, so it seems like a good deal.

But there are ten authorizations tied to the allotment, which means you may have to acquire ten base properties to secure all of the active AUMs.

Probably not a good idea.
