Thirteen wild horses from ranges on BLM-administered public lands in Nevada, Oregon, and California will be offered at an adoption auction at 10 a.m. Saturday at the Northern Nevada Correctional Center, 1721 Snyder Avenue. Public viewing will begin at 9 a.m.
The horses range in age from three to five years and vary in weight and color. The beginning bid on all horses is $150.
