Stansbury Sheep

Looks like they've contracted pneumonia. Took a hike yesterday. These were found in one canyon. We know where there's a bunch more. Not looking good for this herd. Same thing happened in the Ruby Mountains , wiped out the entire herd

Wes, how do you tell it was a sickness? Also how many others were lost and do you report that to DWR, and is there anything their can do to help the herd?

DWR is aware of it. They're not too optimistic about the herd. There's nothing they can do once they contract the disease
