The property consists of 1,762 deeded acres and 320 public acres according to a March 5 news release.
The announcement did not give any details about the BLM acreage but the listing says it’s an allotment known as Upper Tressler Coulee.
The allotment master report puts it in the Custodial category with 57 active AUMs, equivalent to 14.8 wild horses per thousand public acres.
Your faithful public servants claim that public lands in the western U.S. can only support one wild horse per thousand acres.
The authorization use report indicates the allotment is permitted for cattle with a 12-month grazing season.
It’s not clear if the nonprofit will petition the agency for a change in livestock type, given its recent about-face in such matters.
