Creator Transcript
  • Ovis canadensis [underlined]. April 29/43 [1943] Today saw 3 [female symbol] sheep on rugged bluffs just west of Sinclair Canyon - very poor sheep counting. Diseases:- In conversation with Chief Warden [space left blank] of Kootenay Park he tells me that 106 sheep were found dead near Radium. Several were found in the last stages. They seemed to come down to water. The disease started during a very wet fall. Sheep would get very groggy - develop a bad cough + die quite rapidly - sometimes almost overnight. This winter a ewe + a young ram developed scabs all over face + lips, lips bleeding in many places. Ewe is thought to have recovered but ram died + parts sent to Humphrey at Kamloops - no identification. Inside of back of mouth showed no lesions. Reports band at head of Cross River not effected. Banff. Alta. [Alberta] June 2/43 [1943]. Saw 24 sheep at mile 8. From now on all last years animals will be called yearlings. " June 3. Census [underlined]:- mile 2 6 [female symbol] 1 2 yrs [years] [male symbol] 3 yearling " 6 9 [female symbol] 3 [male symbol] ([illegible words] yr. [year]), 3 yearlings
