NRCS Study - 20 views

I'm still looking for that NRCS study that deemed 500 - 600 carrying capacity in the range. Willis says that was based on a limited area and hasn't been scaled properly in the NDA plans. -M

    They are one of Nevada's most misunderstood attributes. From long eyelashes in Disney movies to the ongoing anthropomorphic attitudes expressed by all stripes of mostly well-intentioned folks, Nevada's wild horses are universally admired. They are also endlessly mired in controversy.

  • he very concept of establishing and maintaining a thriving natural ecological balance between wild horses and cattle on public lands shows the folly of this approach. Cattle ranchers wish to extract all possible use from the areas that they lease on the public lands, and wish their cattle to get to the heaviest slaughter weight as quickly as possible. This approach and process contradict and manipulate the natural processes by which a biotic community sustains itself in any environment. The presence of commercially exploited cattle on public lands prevents, by definition, the establishment or maintenance of a thriving natural ecological balance. It is clear that when an agency chooses to "manage" land according to a grazing model, its determinations will be very different from those of an agency following a wildlife model.

    The Department's long term goals are to annually remove 250 to 350 head per year until the agreed upon population level of
    550± head is attained and maintain this population level to: a) evaluate the range carrying capacity; b) minimize public safety
    issues; c) reduce land owner-estray horse conflict; d) increase cooperation and coordination with special interest groups to
    assure all horses gathered are adopted in a timely manner; and, e) expand collaboration
    with the Prison Gentling Program.

      What about expanding programs like this as a management tool?
  • What's the difference between a wild horse and estray?

    "Actually nothing," said Hank Curry, horse trainer for the program. "It's just where they're caught. Most of the estray horses are caught on Nevada state land. It just depends on what side of the river they're on the day they caught them."
  • The starting bid for horses is $150, and prices have reached $4,000 for popular horses. All of the money returns to Silver State Prison Industries. In the past year, the program, which includes the manufacturing of draperies, mattresses, jeans and denim jackets, the restoration of cars and other vehicles, and a printshop and bindery, has returned more than $400,000 to the state.

    What's an iconic symbol of Nevada?
    When I picture the Silver State, I envision a band of horses running wild
    over the dusty plain or professional cowboys giving their all at the Reno
    Rodeo. Thus, I think the horse appropriately defines this area.
