A wild horse roundup in the Divide Basin of southwest Wyoming will start this week. The federal Bureau of Land Management says nearly 1,500 horses will be captured in a span of about four weeks. The BLM says the likely start date is Tuesday.
All mares that are released back into the wild will be treated with a birth control drug. After the roundup, 415 to 600 horses will remain in the area, which the BLM says is the appropriate number. The last roundup in the area occurred in August 2007.
