The Bureau of Land Management has planned four wild horse and burro adoption days for 2025 at the Wheatland Off-Range Corral in Wyoming. The privately owned facility can house up to 3,500 animals and serves as a preparation center for wild horses gathered from public rangelands. Animals undergo aging, freezemarking, vaccination, and disease testing before being placed in private homes or long-term pastures.
BLM staff, full-time contractors, and a contract veterinarian provide care for the animals at the Wheatland Corral. In addition to short-term holding, the facility facilitates animal placement through regular in-person adoptions and BLM Online Corral events. Adoption dates for 2025 are April 26, May 17, June 21, and Oct. 18.
The Wheatland Corral received a 97% compliance rating in its most recent Comprehensive Animal Welfare Program review. While the facility is not open for routine public visits, the public can visit during adoption days and special events held throughout the spring, summer, and fall.
