@Kimber1911 posted a thread back in 2016 about these. Is there any more info about these breeding herds now 8 years later? They were 7/8 pure back then. Did the Project die so to speak?

If I heard correctly, the TX herd is way down. Some disease hitting them and they can't seem to get on top of it.

Think his main release clients where in Texas.

Thompson currently doesn't have any bighorn sheep available for 2024. He told me possibly 2025 but expect a significant price increase. He wants to see what the market will bare.
