Information Bulletin No. Priorities were not met for any representative state and no one was happy about the result.
Funding is the limiting factor.
These were the priorities agreed to in the June 1 conference call. The Washington Office proposal for gathering in Oregon in FY 2000 is 236 horses. The preliminary estimate is that the FY 2000 budget will support gathering 7300 animals. Oregon's share of the 7300 animals is approximately 236 head. We would also like to set a tentative priority for gathering through FY 2001.
