Eighty wild mares gathered by Utah authorities will be released back in the wilderness after receiving contraceptive pellets. The Bureau of Land Management in Utah is this month removing wild horses from the Cedar Mountain Herd Management Area (HMA). About 630 wild horses currently roam the Cedar Mountain area, which covers about 212,000 acres north of Dugway, Utah. The appropriate management level for the area has been established at 190 to 300 wild horses. The bureau wants to remove 440 horses to get to the low end of that level. About eighty of the mares gathered will be administered a pelleted contraceptive vaccine and returned to the range. Since 1992, the Humane Society of the United States has collaborated with the BLM to develop a contraceptive agent that meets the BLM's requirements for practical and cost-effective wild horse population control.

Once again comedy rules the BLM wild, I mean feral, horses in the west.80 mares out of 400 ro so will really reduce the number of colts being born. Ha ha. My suggestion that using cryptorchid stallions with the down testicle being removed and the retained abdominal one left in the horse will reduce the pregnancies because this stallion will rule the roost so to speak and his semen will be mostly like pear juice. This has been scientifically proven but what does science have to do when you are dealing with idiots.
