A2o—Lancaster Farming, Saturday, November ' Wild horse distribution center plans focus on Pa ALEXANDRIA, Va. - The south-central Penn slyvania/northem Maryland area has been selected as the locale of the first wild horse and burro distribution center in the Nor theast. Proposals will soon be accepted from individuals interested establishing and operating the facility, announces the Bureau of Land Management, an agency of the U.S. Department of the In terior. The center will receive regular shipments of wild horses and burros from public rangelands in the West, and shelter the animals until they are picked up by qualified adopters under BLM’s Adopt-a-Horse Program. “A distribution center in the south-central Penn-' sylvania/northem Maryland area will give residents of the Northeast their first chance to adopt a wild horse or burro without having to travel a long way to pick one up," said BLM Eastern States Director Roger L. Hildebeidel. “Right now, the only distribution point east of the Mississippi River is in Cross Plains, Tennessee, about thirty miles north of Nashville.” Parties interested in operating the new facility must be able to provide facilities and services to feed and maintain a minimum of 150 wild horses and burros at a time, to load the animals when adopters arrive to pick them up, and to handle -the paperwork associated with the pickup of the animals.
