Swasey Roundup Ends

The incident concluded on November 8 with 124 horses captured, 122 shipped, none released and two dead.

There were no unaccounted-for animals.

Operations began on November 3 and the average daily take was 20.7.

The death rate was 1.6%.

The capture total included 49 stallions, 57 mares and 18 foals.

The roundup liberated 1,488 AUMs per year for other mandated uses of public lands.

There were no plans to treat any of the mares with fertility control and return them to the range, a huge disappointment to the advocates.

They want comprehensive fertility management alongside every gather with a clear timeline to eliminate roundups according to an October 27 opinion piece in PJ Media.

Recovery is not an option.
