Cattoor Livestock Roundup, Inc.

Cattoor Livestock Roundup, Inc., a small business based in Nephi, Utah, provides wild horse and burro capture, removal, and transportation services to federal land management agencies exclusively as a prime contractor under total small business set-asides and unrestricted competition. The company holds four active indefinite-delivery contracts with the Bureau of Land Management and U.S. Forest Service totaling $106 million in ceiling value and competes across multiple specialized capture methodologies—drive trapping, bait trapping, water trapping, and helicopter operations—to manage wild equine populations on public rangelands across the western United States.

Cattoor Livestock Roundup dominates the wild horse and burro management space for federal agencies. The Department of the Interior Bureau of Land Management's National Office funds 175 awards representing $162.9 million in combined potential value (84% of the vendor's portfolio dollars), with the remaining customer base anchored by the Department of Agriculture Forest Service's Pacific Southwest Region (34 awards, $11.6 million). BLM regional offices in Nevada, Oregon-Washington, and California account for smaller order volumes. The vendor operates exclusively as a prime contractor on all 516 awards in the source, with no subcontract footprint.

Cattoor Livestock Roundup's four parent vehicle IDIQs structure the vendor's delivery model. The recently awarded $72 million single-award drive trapping contract (BLM National Office, total small business set-aside, through December 2030) anchors the largest ceiling. The $20 million multiple-award catch-treat-hold-and-release IDIQ (through March 2028) and the $10 million single-award bait trapping IDIQ (through September 2027) represent core capacity. The Forest Service's $4 million single-award contract for wild horse capture and removal in California (through July 2027) supports regional operations. Task orders under these vehicles range from $2,285 to $765,121, with the largest captures involving 1,500 to 2,000 animals per operation. Representative recent work includes a $765,121 gather of approximately 2,000 horses from the Callaghan Complex in Nevada (June 2026), a $722,551.50 bait trapping operation capturing 1,500 burros in the Lake Pleasant Herd Management Area in Arizona (March 2026), and a $571,855 drive trap gather in the North Lander Complex in Wyoming (June 2024). The vendor also delivers transportation services for captured wild horses—purchase orders averaging $5,000 to $30,000 per shipment to adoption and holding facilities nationwide.

The vendor's activity trajectory shows modest decline: 18 awards in 2022 stepped down to 11 awards year-to-date in 2026. The recompete cliff presents minimal near-term exposure—only $501 thousand in combined potential value faces ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months. This reflects the long-term nature of the IDIQs anchoring the portfolio: the newest $72 million drive trapping contract extends through December 2030, providing stable pipeline visibility.

SCI-reported federal service contract invoicing captures minimal activity—$1.3 million across FY2023 only, supporting 2.3 FTEs in that fiscal year. This sparse SCI signal reflects the nature of the work: most Cattoor Livestock Roundup awards are delivery orders for short-duration field operations (two to four weeks per gather), classified as product or fixed-price labor delivery rather than ongoing service contracts above the $150,000 SCI threshold. The median government-paid hourly rate on SCI records runs $281.53/hour, with rates spanning $252.99 to $310.07 per hour across the percentile range. The vendor performs all work in-house with zero subcontractor engagement on SCI-reportable prime contracts.

Cattoor Livestock Roundup's market position rests on specialized operational expertise, long-term federal contracting tenure dating to 2001, and exclusive focus on a narrow but high-value niche. The company faces no material recompete pressure in the next two years and maintains dominant share with its primary customer, BLM, through four multi-million-dollar vehicle awards that structure predictable task-order flow across western states.
