BLM Launches Cedar Mountain Wild Horse Gather to Protect Herd and Rangeland

The Bureau of Land Management has started gather operations in the Cedar Mountain Herd Management Area near Skull Valley, Utah, to improve herd health, reduce pressure on range resources, and support a balanced environment. The herd’s current size is estimated at almost twice the sustainable capacity, so the gather aims to bring numbers down to a level the rangeland can support, benefiting both the horses and other wildlife.
