Yee haa, Trigger to the plate!!
This is a good deal.
There are so many horses running loose and starving.
The drought in TX had horses being sold at sale barns for less than $20.
Prime stock, but could not be kept due to food cost.
The scum let them loose on others property to die of starvation.
There needs to be a market for the overabundance of horse and livestock.
Too many of the feel good girls let their ponies run loose on others land, only to suffer a horrible death.
It’s not Disney land out there, you well intentioned goofballs.
Life gets in the way of free range horses!

The starving horse story is a canard. The horses are fine. And when food is low in a drought year, nature and predators cull them just like happens with everything from quail to elk.
Notice how there isn’t enough food for wild horses, but there is always room for all the cattle they want to run?

Selling public grazing is fine. Im ok with allowing graze renters to make improvments like water tanks, roads, etc. But you don’t remove wildlife, get to prevent public access, or stop other activities.
