I'm glad you posted this. I've been fighting with the BLM for the last three years about their grazing permit program and the way in which it is being administered -- it's fairly obvious that the BLM's main priority in the area is (and has been for some time) placating cattle ranchers and offering cheap grazing allotments.

But - like many government agencies - finding someone to listen is tough. :(

It's really ridiculous the things they get away with. Obviously I'm all for round ups, but their science AND their math is just bad.

I always check the round up schedule to make sure Tristan's HMA is safe. So far, so good.

Tristan's from Callaghan in Nevada, but the Bald Mountain herd in the adjoining HMA is known for throwing bizarre colors, so I suspect he may be from both sides of the tracks. :) They haven't been gathered since 2002, and before that was his gather in 1997.

272 mustangs is...a lot of mouths to feed. But wouldn't they look gorgeous out in your fields?

Nothing improves soya bean yields than a herd of feral mustangs...
