Wild horses for sale in South Sioux City
SOUTH SIOUX CITY, Neb. (KCAU) — Across the United States, there are more than 73,000 wild horses that roam free, and herds can grow too large for the region to sustain.
That's where the Bureau of Land Management comes in.
'These horses were gathered on the ranges between Wyoming, Nevada, Utah, various states that they roam on, on the Bureau, on the Bureau of Land Management, wild horse areas, herd management areas. And we gather them to bring down the numbers and bring them to [the] appropriate management level,' said Wendlandt.
These American mustangs are part of the country's history, as the wild horses aren't truly wild; they're descendants of Spanish horses that became feral over time.
Potential adopters have to ensure they are able to care for a horse for its lifetime. If they can, they can bring home some American heritage.
'I've seen them being gathered on the range, and being able to follow that all the way through to a happy home is the best part of my job. And being able to work with somebody that they, maybe they saw it on the range, maybe this is the first time they've even heard about this program, and being able to adopt an animal to them. And then see the happy adopter and the happy horse,' said Wendlandt.
Those who weren't able to make it out on Friday, you still have time, as the horse sale continues on Saturday from 9 A.M. to 4 P.M. at the Dakota Thurston Fairgrounds.

Egg prices have plummeted since Trump took office — after hitting all-time high in March
The price of eggs has dropped just over 61% since President Donald Trump took office in January, after spiking to an all-time high in March. The most recent data from the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) shows white, large shell eggs are now $2.52 per dozen nationally. On Jan. 21, that same carton of eggs would have run an American about $6.49, according to data website Trading Economics. Trading Economics shows eggs were over $8 a dozen the first week of March. 'Shell egg demand posted a slight improvement headed into the Memorial Day weekend but remained well below average in the continuation of a trend that began during the sharp price increases in late winter,' the USDA Egg Markets Overview weekly publication said. Back in April, a study by Clarify Capital said over 30% of Americans had stopped buying eggs due to their exorbitant cost. Weaker demand and a lull in new cases of bird flu helped cool prices, analysts said at the time. 3 The price of eggs has dropped just over 61% since President Donald Trump took office after a spike in March.

AP That same month, Reuters reported that the US had increased imports of eggs from Turkey, Brazil and South Korea in an attempt to increase supplies amid an ongoing bird flu outbreak that has killed nearly 170 million chickens, turkeys and other birds since 2022. Since the outbreak began in 2022, bird flu has affected over 166 million birds, including 127 million egg layers. This equates to an average loss of 42.3 million egg layers per year, or about 11% of the five-year average annual layer inventory of 383 million hens since the outbreak began, according to Bernt Nelson, an economist with the American Farm Bureau Foundation. 3 According to analysts, a weaker demand and a lull in new cases of bird flu helped cool prices.

'To date, USDA APHIS has confirmed 43 outbreaks in layer flocks in 10 states (AZ, CA, IA, IN, MO, NC, OH, PA, SD, and WA),' the Egg Markets Overview said.

Trump aides insist that tariffs will remain, even after court ruling
Asked about the future of the president's so-called reciprocal tariffs, first announced and quickly suspended in April, Lutnick added, 'I don't see today that an extension is coming.' Advertisement The president's tariff strategy entered uncharted political and legal territory last week after a federal trade court ruled that Trump had misused an emergency economic powers law in trying to wage a global trade war. Get Starting Point A guide through the most important stories of the morning, delivered Monday through Friday. Enter Email Sign Up The decision would have put a quick halt to those duties, which form the centerpiece of the president's strategy of pressuring other countries into trade talks. But an appeals court soon granted the government a brief administrative pause to sort out arguments in the case, which is expected to reach the Supreme Court. The administration has said that a ruling against its tariffs would harm negotiations and undercut the president, a point Trump repeated Sunday. In a social media post that projected confidence he would ultimately prevail in court, he wrote that any ruling against his tariffs would allow other countries to 'hold our Nation hostage' and result in 'Economic ruination' for the United States. Advertisement Top White House officials once promised to strike 90 deals in 90 days, but they have since managed to announce only one framework for a possible deal, with Britain. On Sunday, though, the commerce secretary dismissed the notion that Trump had suffered a new setback, saying it 'cost us a week, maybe.' He said the White House would ultimately reach 'first-class deals.' The decision has not slowed down Trump, who attacked China on Friday for failing to adhere to an agreement brokered between Washington and Beijing in which the two nations lowered their once-withering tariff rates, pending a longer-term deal. The president also announced that day that he would double tariffs applied to imported steel, which would now be set at 50 percent, in a move that could result in higher prices for American consumers. Kevin Hassett, the director of the White House National Economic Council, told ABC's 'This Week' that he expected Trump and China's leader, Xi Jinping, could speak about trade as soon as this week, though he later said that a conversation had not been scheduled or finalized. Scott Bessent, the treasury secretary, separately reiterated that talks with China had stalled, citing the fact that Beijing is holding back its exports of rare earth minerals, which are critical for global industrial supply chains. 'Maybe it's a glitch in the Chinese system; maybe it's intentional,' Bessent said on CBS' 'Face the Nation.' Bessent also defended the steel tariffs as a means of protecting American steel jobs. He acknowledged that it was unclear how the new rates could affect the construction industry, which he characterized as a 'very complicated ecosystem.'

No.1 Scheffler holds off Griffin to defend PGA Memorial title
World number one Scottie Scheffler of the United States defended his title at the PGA Tour's Memorial tournament (Michael Reaves) World number one Scottie Scheffler captured his 16th career PGA Tour victory on Sunday, joining Tiger Woods as the only players to defend titles at the Memorial tournament. The 28-year-old American took his third triumph in a month, firing a two-under par 70 to finish 72 holes on 10-under 278 at Muirfield Village in Dublin, Ohio. Advertisement American Ben Griffin, coming off a victory last week at Colonial, was four strokes back in second on 282 after shooting 73 with Austrian Sepp Straka third on 283, one stroke better than Canada's Nick Taylor. "It's always a hard week to play this tournament," Scheffler said. "I battled really hard over the weekend and Ben made things interesting down the stretch." The triumph marked the ninth consecutive time Scheffler has turned a 54-hole lead into a victory, this one coming at the event hosted by 18-time major winner Jack Nicklaus. "Overall it was a great week and definitely proud to be shaking Mr. Nicklaus's hand at the end of another good week," Scheffler said. Advertisement Scheffler won last month's PGA Championship at Quail Hollow for his third major crown after taking the CJ Cup Byron Nelson two weeks earlier. By winning his first 16 PGA titles in just under 3.5 years, Scheffler became the fourth-fastest to go from his first to 16th tour wins after Sam Snead, Nicklaus and Woods, a 15-time major winner who took the Memorial from 1999-2001. The victory marked the first defended title among the nine crowns Scheffler won worldwide last year, having edged compatriot Collin Morikawa by a stroke at the 2024 Memorial. It also ensured Scheffler will be seen as the man to beat in two weeks at the US Open at Oakmont, where Scheffler seeks a fourth career major victory and second in a row. Advertisement "This is definitely a golf course that's going to expose your weaknesses," Scheffler said of Muirfield Village. "I've got a few things I can practice on next week. Overall, it was a really solid week, did some really good battling." Scheffler sank a par putt from just inside 10 feet at the 14th hole and reached 10-under with a tap-in birdie at the par-five 15th. Griffin, however, reached the 15th green in two and sank a 12-foot eagle putt to pull within three strokes with three holes to play. Griffin then followed with a 27-foot birdie putt at the par-three 16th to pull within two of the lead. Advertisement Scheffler responded by dropping his approach at 17 just inside 20 feet on the way to a routine par while Griffin needed four shots to reach the 17th green on his way to a double bogey, falling four adrift. Scheffler closed out matters with a seven-foot birdie putt at 18. - Scheffler solid early - Scheffler, who began the day with a one-stroke lead, birdied the first six holes to keep his one stroke lead while Griffin stayed on his heels by answering bogeys at the first and par-three fourth holes with birdies at the second and par-five fifth. Scheffler left his third shot at the par-five seventh within four feet of the hole and sank the birdie putt to reach nine-under. Advertisement Scheffler curled in a par putt at the ninth from just inside nine feet to make the turn with a two-stroke lead, but missed a 12-footer for par at the 10th for a bogey that dropped his advantage to one shot once more. At the par-five 11th, Scheffler responded by blasting out of the rough to 14 feet and curling in the birdie putt to restore a two-stroke edge on nine-under. Griffin found a bunker on the way to a bogey at the par-three 12th and never found the fairway at 13 on the way to another bogey that left Scheffler ahead by four with five holes remaining. js/sev
