The Bureau of Land Management will offer 40-50 wild horses and burros for adoption on Friday, April 28, at the Wheatland Off-Range Corral in Wheatland, Wyo.

Anyone interested can preview the animals starting at 8 a.m. until the live competitive auction begins at 10 a.m. Animals not taken during the auction will be available on a first come, first serve basis for the standard adoption fee of $125. The event ends at 3 p.m.

To qualify, adopters must be at least 18 years old and have facilities that meet the BLM’s requirements. Get your adoption application pre-approved or to learn more about adoption requirements here https://wildhorsesonline.blm.gov/.

Wild horses and burros for adoption were removed from overpopulated herds roaming Western public rangelands. As part of our efforts to find every animal a good home, the BLM offers up to $1,000 to adopt an untrained animal.
