Government Hoof Count Shows Horse Numbers Have Doubled
An unofficial USDA hoof count indicates the U S equine population has roughly doubled since a decade earlier and may top 75.9 million including horses, donkeys and mules. The count links rising horse numbers to feed needs and land use, noting potential impacts on cattle pasture and beef production. Secretary Earl L Butz cites tight pasture and limited land for beef expansion, especially in the South. The piece also mentions past VEE outbreaks in Texas and vaccination efforts to prevent spread.
