Creator Transcript
  • Ovis canadensis In the summer of 1936 dom. [domestic] sheep were first driven onto the bighorn winter ranges + in the following winter the septicemia struck + almost wiped out the sheep. [Frederick Herbert (Bert)] Riggall examined some range + found 50-60 carcases of which there were 5 [female symbol], 3 [male symbol]'s under 3 yrs [years] + two old rams. The remainder were [female symbol]'s 3 to 8 - seemed to hit this group hardest. I suspect that the range he examined was primarily a ram range + that the sample was thus biased. Last year in the early fall he found an old ram freshly dead near the B.C. [British Columbia], Alta [Alberta] boundary on the junction of Crows Nest. + Bow forest reserves. He opened it + found the lungs full of cheesy pus. States that when he first came here there was some scab + actinomycosis but he has seen none for many years. Waterton L. [Lake] July 20/45.[1945] Mr [Frederick Herbert (Bert)] Riggall states that he has known of 3 dwarf rams shot [word crossed out] in this vicinity. Two were shot just outside the park, the third consists of a skull picked up. The latter is still in the possession of a resident of Pincher Cr. [Creek]
