What they’re not telling you is that it’s not possible to reduce a herd by 40% with birth control and natural attrition without sterilizing the mares.
A 40% herd reduction, assuming a 6% death rate, would require about eight years.
The mares will be sterile after five years of treatment.
If the Forest Service took the herd from 450 to 270, the advocates would be howling.
