Talk Is Sheep

We welcome WSSBC Peter Gutsche to the podcast to talk about Okanagan Bighorn Sheep. Peter is our lead on our Psoroptes Treatment Trial for struggling California Bighorn Sheep in the Okanagan. This is a massive 18 month program in conjunction with the Okanagan Nation Alliance where we have 28 Bighorn Sheep in captivity undergoing a drug treatment trial with a goal of reducing psoroptes on the landscape.

Supporters of this program include the Wild Sheep Foundation and their Chapter and Affiliates as well as the Washington Wild Sheep Foundation. Peter gives us the run down on the project, the recent capture work and what is in store for these captive sheep in the months ahead. Check out the project at @okanaganbighorns.
