What criteria will qualify a wild horse or burro for sale?
A wild horse or burro will become saleable once it is more than 10 years of age or has been offered unsuccessfully for adoption at least three times. Will the sale animals be marked differently than adopted animals? A: Yes. All animals removed from the range, including those offered for adoption, will continue to be freezemarked with a unique number on the left side of the neck using the angle numeric system. In addition to the standard identification freezemark, all sale eligible animals will be freezemarked with a three-inch symbol on the left side of the neck to distinguish between animals that are sold and those adopted. What is the sale price for a mare/foal pair? A: Mare-foal pairs will not be available for sale as a single unit. Because the foal does not meet the sale criteria, it will be available through the adoption process. How do I buy a single horse or burro? A: If you are interested in buying a single horse or burro, contact the BLM at 1-800-710-7597 or via e-mail at wild
