KALISPELL - People interested in adopting a wild horse or burro will have an opportunity Saturday at the Flathead County Fairgrounds in Kalispell.

The Bureau of Land Management's Wild Horse and Burro Adoption program offers the adoption of animals to qualified people. About 40 wild horses and 10 burros will be trucked from a regional holding facility to Kalispell for the auction.

People must meet facility requirements, including proper fencing and shelter for the animals, and have approved applications to bid on any animal. Advance applications for bidders are highly recommended. The minimum bid is $125 per animal.

After adequately caring for the animal for one year, the adopter is eligible to receive full title from the federal government.
