Watch Suzanne Roy, high priestess of pesticides at the Campaign Against America’s Wild Horses, as the speaker is cut off.
Roy was allowed to ramble on after she exceeded her time limit.

The feed should start around 8 AM PT today.
The comment session runs from 1 PM to 2 PM according to the agenda.
The advocates, defeated a long time ago, will probably demand greater use of pesticides and acceptance of mass sterilization in lieu of motorized removal.

The incident occurred in Beaver County, Tammy Pearson’s stomping ground (Beaver County commissioner, public-lands rancher and member of the WHBAB).
The BLM news release said they were found northwest of the Minersville Reservoir on the Mineral Range Mountains.
That puts them in the Minersville #2 Allotment or the south end of the Mineral Range Allotment.
The agency has offered a $5,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the person(s) responsible.

He could have sent the boy to a Betty Ford clinic or similar institution, where he would be deprogrammed, cured of his obsession with pesticides and educated in intellectual honesty, but this is faster and more effective.
Beware of the wild horse advocates.

The plan was to convert the Spruce Allotment to a wild horse eco-sanctuary with a capacity of 900 animals.
The base property consisted of approximately 14,000 deeded acres with grazing preference on over 500,000 public acres.
The facility included public lands, would displace livestock therefrom and had a land ratio of roughly 36 public acres for every deeded acre.
The downside was that it overlapped three HMAs, resulting in the loss of up to three breeding populations, which is unacceptable.
The resort offered high-end guest accommodations, fine dining and other amenities, which are not necessary for a wild horse refuge.

A diploma from the Billings School of PZP Darting and Public Deception won’t protect you from criminal investigation.
Fortunately, those who would look into the matter want the horses gone as much as those pulling the trigger, so there’s not much to worry about.

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit has affirmed the district court’s ruling granting summary judgment for the U.S. Forest Service in its decision to approve the Ochoco Herd Management Plan.
The court rejected all of the plaintiffs’ claims according to the January 3 ruling, allowing the plan to go forward.
The agency is currently renovating a facility near Prineville that will house wild horses removed from the WHT.
Although the case cited the availability of winter forage as the limiting factor in setting the AML, there was no discussion of the forage assigned to livestock in the Reservoir Allotment, which overlaps most of the WHT.

The program would allow individuals to donate up to $249 per year to support the protection and management of wild horses and burros on public lands according to the Off-Range Report for the January 7 WHBAB meeting.
The report does not acknowledge that the land can support many more animals than the government admits and that the wild horse and burro program has become a grazing program ancillary.

The position was advertised in the fall and human resource actions are in progress according to the On-Range Report for the January 7 WHBAB meeting.
The opening was not announced at the BLM news site but may have been distributed on socialist media or sent directly to the advocacy groups.

The incident started on November 29. Results through January 2:
No reports were given for Days 33 and 34.
The death rate is 2.1%.
The capture total includes 66 stallions, 84 mares and 43 foals.
Youngsters represented 22.3% of the animals gathered, consistent with a herd growth rate of 17% per year. The Rule of 72 says the herd size will double in 4.2 years.
Of the adults, 44.0% were male and 56.0% were female, no indication of an abnormal sex ratio in the population at large.
Body condition scores were not given.
The location of the trap site was not disclosed.
The name of the contractor was not provided.
There are no plans to treat any of the mares with fertility control pesticides and return them to the range.
No decisions have made regarding the long-term disposition of horses, which means they could be treated or altered in off range holding, including the stallions.
The status of livestock grazing in the burned area is not known.

The 118th Congress has termed out and with it two bills that threatened wild horses.
Tell your elected representatives you want wild horses managed the way Velma and the 92nd Congress intended, not the way the advocates and their political allies envision.
Traffic from Facebook and Twitter accounted for 8.6% of the total during the month, consistent with the new normal established a year and a half ago.

Sevens Ranch offers 17,666 deeded acres intermixed with 49,557 acres of BLM and State lands for a total of 67,223, according to the listing.
The map indicates it has preference on the Disappointment and Cedar Springs Draw allotments.
The Allotment Master Report puts both in the Improve category but shows no active AUMs on either, contrary to the agent’s description.
The allotment dataset posted last April shows 1,610 active AUMs on 22,304 public acres for Disappointment and 2,758 active AUMs on 20,161 public acres for Cedar Springs Draw, equivalent to 364 wild horses on 42,465 public acres, or 8.6 wild horses per thousand public acres. (Our faithful public servants tell us that public lands in the western U.S. can only support one wild horse per thousand public acres.)
Buyers should ask the Little Snake Field Office about the AUM discrepancy.
The ranch might be a candidate for Colorado’s new wild horse preserve.
The land ratio is 2.8 public acres for every deeded acre, so it’s close.
Wild horses can be placed on public lands not identified for their use by acquiring private property associated with grazing allotments and flipping the preference to horses as Wild Horse Refuge did at Rio Ro Mo Ranch.
The advocates never stop.
