WILD HORSE ROUNDUPS
CATTOOR LIVESTOCK ROUNDUP, INC.
 Wild horse roundups are necessary to
maintain healthy herds of wild horses and burros out on the
range. Herd numbers must be regulated by the U. S. Bureau of
Land Management (BLM) so that each animal has plenty of food and
water. BLM managed lands are multiple use - this means
livestock, wild horse, burro, and wildlife numbers must be
managed to help assure food and water for everything and to minimize
impact on the environment.
Our business at Cattoor Livestock
Roundup Company is to help capture, process, and transport wild
horses, burros, and wild cattle in the most humane way possible.
We have been contracting wild horse
roundups for the Bureau of Land Management (and other agencies) since
1975. We have humanely captured over 150,000 wild horses, wild
burros, and wild cattle during these 32 years.
Over the years, we have purchased and
built equipment, developed techniques, and learned the best methods
to assure the safety of the animals. We employ experienced
helicopter pilots
and wranglers that really care about the animals. All of this
minimizes the stress on the animals during wild horse roundups.
At this time, several wild horse
interest groups are trying to get helicopter wild horse roundups
stopped. The purpose of this web site is to have the full facts
about the purpose and the practice of roundups available for anyone
who reads them. We do work with wild animals. When we do wild horse
roundups injuries can occur. But, the injuries are minimal and
usually not life threatening and our death loss is less than .006%.
When you balance that with natural death loss on the open range and
the possible loss of life caused by drought, disease, and
overcrowding of the range, you will be able to judge for yourself
the necessity and humanity of these roundups.
