MISSOULA — Missoula County has decided to look at issues surrounding the feral horses that roam Upper Miller Creek.

The animals have traveled the hills between Miller Creek and south into the Bitterroot Valley for decades and it's not uncommon to see them grazing in yards or walking down sidewalks.

The Montana Department of Livestock told MTN earlier this year that while there are other feral horse herds in Montana, this situation is unique, as the herd roams freely in the neighborhoods and parks.

It is not clear under state law which agency, if any, has jurisdiction to manage feral horses in Montana.

The community is divided.
