HINES, Ore. –The U.S. Bureau of Land Management (BLM) announces summer plans to install a
total of three pitless cattleguards and three offset gates in the Kiger and Riddle Mountain Herd
Management Areas (HMA) for livestock and wild horse management.
One cattleguard in the Kiger HMA will be put in the fenceline between Wood Camp and Ruins
pastures along the exiting Ant Hill Road. Two cattleguards in the Riddle Mountain HMA will be
put in the fenceline between Oriana Flat pasture and State-administered land near Neal’s Lake.

The BLM manages more than 245 million acres of public land, the most of any Federal agency. This land, known as the National
System of Public Lands, is primarily located in 12 Western states, including Alaska. The BLM also administers 700 million acres of
sub-surface mineral estate throughout the nation. The BLM's mission is to manage and conserve the public lands for the use and
enjoyment of present and future generations under our mandate of multiple-use and sustained yield. In Fiscal Year 2013, the BLM
generated $4.7 billion in receipts from public lands.
