Wild horse and burro adoption in Pauls Valley scheduled May 16-17

PAULS VALLEY — The U.S. Bureau of Land Management (BLM) will hold a wild horse and burro adoption at its Pauls Valley facility, Friday-Saturday, May 16-17.

Attendance is free and open to the public. Times are Friday 8 a.m. until 4 p.m., and Saturday 8 a.m. until noon.

The two-day event will feature 80 animals – adult and yearling horses and burros that once roamed free on public lands in the West. The BLM periodically removes excess animals from the range in order to ensure herd health and to balance other public uses of the land. The adoption program is essential for achieving these important management goals.

Adoption Qualifications – Application approval is required and can be done on site. To qualify to adopt, one must be at least 18 with no record of animal abuse. Adopters must have suitable facilities and can adopt no more than four animals.

Adoption Fees – The minimum adoption fee, set by law, is $125 per animal to qualified adopters. An initial round of competitive bidding will take place Friday at 10 a.m. to determine the adoption fees for those animals that are sought by more than one person. Following the single round of bidding Friday morning, walkup adoptions will be processed for $125 on a first-come-first-served basis for the rest of the weekend.
