LAS VEGAS — Land management authorities have completed removing more than a thousand wild horses in Nevada and Utah.
The Las Vegas Review-Journal reported that the Bureau of Land Management gathered 1,716 horses from herd management areas in Lincoln County in Nevada and Iron and Beaver counties in Utah.
Agency officials say the roundup began Jan. 16 and ended Tuesday. Officials say 28 female horses were given fertility treatments and released back into the wild with 19 male horses, while the rest were relocated to a wild horse center near Reno.
Officials say those horses will be adopted, sold or placed in long-term pastures.
