The allotment is too small but the permit is up for renewal.
The parcel offers 540 active AUMs on 2,371 acres according to the allotment master report, equivalent to 19 wild horses per thousand public acres.
Given that the target stocking rate across all HMAs is one wild horse per thousand acres, the allotment is at 19X AML but it’s in the Maintain category!
Your faithful public servants warn that rangeland health will suffer if wild horse populations exceed AML (25,600 animals on 25.6 million acres).
