Pancake Trapping Ends

The incident concluded on April 15 with 300 horses captured, 295 shipped, none released and five dead.

There were no unaccounted-for animals.

300 – 295 – 0 – 5 = 0

All deaths were intentional.

The death rate was 1.7%.

The capture total included 152 stallions, 124 mares and 24 foals.

Youngsters represented 8.0% of the animals gathered, suggesting that the herd is growing at a much slower pace than your faithful public servants claim.

Of the adults, 55.1% were male and 44.9% were female, no indication of an abnormal sex ratio.

There were no plans to treat any of the mares with fertility control pesticides and return them to the range.

The operation liberated 3,600 AUMs per year.
