Colorado horse roundup focuses on fertility control
Two upcoming horse roundups in western Colorado will focus more on fertility control, rather than horse removal, under a new federal policy. The first horse gather, on the Spring Creek Herd Management Area, near Dolores, had been set to begin Thursday but has been delayed until Friday because of rain. The second is set to start Tuesday near Meeker. In both roundups, adult mares that are released back to the range will be treated with birth control drugs to slow the rate of herd growth. But in both cases, some horses will be taken out of the wild. In the Spring Creek roundup, about 60 of the approximately 90 wild horses there will be gathered. About 25 will be put up for adoption at the Montezuma County Fairgrounds on Sept. 24.Tags: upcoming fertility federal gather spring creek herd management area tuesday meeker
