- 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]
