Hopefully they will figure it out. It could be fences blocking migration routes, causing a bigger winter kill. It happened north of Rawlins, Wyoming back in the late 1980s...
Have you driven around out there lately?


Yep -- I work all over the state. I grew up with goats. When the weather gets tough in the winter, they'll push into town for forage. They aren't bothered by development. However, they are bothered by fencelines, harsh winters and coyotes. The biologists will figure it out, but it's unfortunate the area is getting shut down...
