Few wild horses find homes during BLM auction

362 Horses were brought to the auction and only 8 were sold.

This article in the Salt Lake Tribune quotes a BLM official who says wild horses sold at auction in 2004 and 2006 brought up to $3500 per animal.

So what did they bring this year? The total paid for all 8 horses was $725. That's 90 bucks a horse!

Thank the do-gooders in Congress and state legislatures who killed the horse market, and thank the deep thinkers in Congress whose energy policies have driven up the price of feed. Maybe someday we'll get a total on how many horses they've caused to starve to death.
