The allotment, due for permit renewal, offers 4,317 active AUMs on 26,099 public acres, equivalent to 360 wild horses or 13.8 wild horses per thousand public acres.
The grazing season is 12 months according to Table 1 of the CX.
The allotment master report puts it in the Improve 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.
There is one authorization tied to the allotment, so you’d only need to acquire or control one base property to secure all of the active AUMs.
The allotment includes 9,963 state acres, offering an additional 1,778 AUMs, but there is no assurance the resource would transfer to you—the new permittee.
The 1,960 private acres may correspond to some or all of the base property.
Proceed with caution.
