The Respiratory Pathogen "MOVI" has been found in Dall's Sheep from GMU 13A and Mountain Goats from the Kenai Peninsula.
Not good news!

No, it's not. Do they have any deaths attributed to it or was it found through monitoring?
Skimming through the USDA literature, it looks like that Bighorns suffered a 95% mortality rate while it is tolerated well in domestic goats and sheep.
That sucks.

I suspect this was known some time back when there was a push to bring assorted sheep up here for ranching...
Mark Begich, Joaquin Jackson, and Heller resistance... Three huge reasons to worry about the NRA.
