Vashti is a buckskin Mustang that came to Ching from the Bureau of Land Management in 2004 when she was just 2 years old. She had been auctioned off, then returned to the BLM before we got her. There are only about 30,000 wild mustangs left in the United States but they are getting rounded up and thrown off their land to make room for over three million cattle to graze.
The Cattlemen's Association has them removed because they claim the mustangs are overgrazing, which is strange since there are so few of the mustangs left and they eat half of what cattle do. The cattle raised on these lands are consumed as free-range beef. It only makes up about 3% off all the beef consumed in the U.S. Faith is quick to tell anyone that these amazing animals are being round up just so meat eaters can have a hamburger.
