Specifications include, but are not limited to: cattle gathering. NDA is looking for an avenue to safely and humanely remove approximately 200 estray/feral cattle from the McCullough Mountain and Highland Wilderness Ranges in Southern Nevada. The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) has determined that the estray/feral cattle continue to damage springs, vegetation and compete with native wild game species for water. BLM has noted that there are no adjacent or nearby permitted grazing allotments, and therefore all cattle are deemed estray/feral per NRS 569.008 and NRS 569.0075. A temporary camp will be allowed in the area for contractor staff, equipment, horses and dogs to remain during the gather. The awarded contractor will work with NDA on this project. NDA staff shall visibly inspect cattle to determine any signs of identifiable ownership.
