Wild Horses, Wild Fire and Politics  Problem: Cheat grass in the Great Basin dries out by mid-June, then drops seeds and becomes tinder for range fires. Partial Solution: “Wild horses eat cheat grass before it can drop seeds,” admitted Les Boothe Rangeland Management Specialist, adamant supporter of wild horse removal at the Beaty Butte Working Group sponsored by Beaty Butte Grazing Association, Oregon Natural Desert Association. Question: Should we write off as coincidence the fact that massive round-ups of mustangs coincide with proliferation of cheat grass and the rapid return of wild land fires from every 60-100 years systems to less than 5 years? Western governors are concerned about the early start to the 2016 fire season and many, including Nevada’s Governor Brian Sandoval, support the round-up of wild horses.Tell Governor Sandoval to look at the factshttp://gov.nv.gov/Contact/Email-the-Governor/Labels: Beaty Butte, BLM roundups, cheat grass, fire season, Governor, range, wild horses Permalink to this blog post Posted by Terri Farley @ 9:41 AM 2 comments
