photo: BLM Nevada After the BLM rounded up wild horses in Triple B Complex in Nevada in 2018, they informed the public that “Approximately 2,466 wild horses will remain in the complex once the gather is completed.” That roundup concluded in February. And, this news release isn’t readily […]
At the roundup we had runners go off with no explanation. We had a baby come in that I could see was injured.
