Mustangs from the Sulphur herd in Utah trace their ancestry to the Iberian peninsula. Brought to North America by the Spanish in the 1500s, they've since roamed free among an isolated mountain range near the Nevada border. We visit a ranch with Sulphur horses to find out what makes these animals a "genetic treasure." Plus, the average cost of keeping a roof over your head in Utah's metro areas is a lot more than it used to be — if you're renting.
