(Steve Griffin | Tribune file photo) This Sept. 15, 2015, file photo shows wild horses runing in their pen as they are cared for in the Bureau of Land Management's off-range corral, located on a 32-acre private ranch in Axtell, Utah. A roundup that ended this week of horses from the Confusion herd near Milford gathered 304 horses for purposes of sterilizing mares using a controversial medical procedure to reduce the population on rangelands. Five died in the roundup, three from euthanasia because of poor health.
