Project Need
Need For Project:
Property adjacent to occupied bighorn habitat was stocked with domestic goats. In order to prevent disease transfer to bighorn sheep, a wildlife fence is needed.
Objectives:
Fence the entire perimeter of 20 acre parcel with high-tensile wildlife fence.
Project Location/Timing Justification (Why Here? Why Now?):
Bighorn sheep occupy habitat directly adjacent to this property. The rut begins in November, and bighorn rams will likely investigate the domestic goats.
Relation To Management Plan:
From statewide bighorn management plan:
Strategies: Reduce Risk of Pathogen Transmission
a. Strive for spatial separation between bighorn sheep and domestic sheep and goats that
does not negatively impact livestock grazing by utilizing natural barriers (e.g. rivers or
expanses of unsuitable habitat) and man-made barriers (e.g. fences or roads).
