CHEYENNE, Wyo. (PRESS RELEASE) - The Bureau of Land Management’s Wheatland Off-Range Corral will offer 40-50 wild horses and burros for adoption at its second in-person event of the season on Friday.

Those interested can preview the animals starting at 8 a.m. until the live competitive auction begins at 10 a.m. Bids start at $125. Animals not taken during the auction will be available on a first-come, first-served basis until 3 p.m. for the standard adoption or sales fee.
