The public can be compensated up to $1,000 for taking in rangeland animals. Written By: Leah Ward | 8:45 pm, Jul. 2, 2021 WINDOM — The U.S. Bureau of Land Management (BLM) will host an event next Friday and Saturday in Windom that invites the public to claim one of about 60 wild horses and burros gathered from western rangelands. "It's one of our prominent programs," said BLM Public Affairs Specialist Martha Malik, adding that the BLM has been doing horse and burro placement since 1971. "Placement events like this one are important in promoting healthy horses on healthy rangelands out west,” said Acting Northeastern States District Manager Stephanie Carman. “Our goal is to find good homes for these animals."
