The herd harbors a historic and genetically pure profile since no outside bighorns have ever been reintroduced to the area, according to biologists. Reintroductions have been used to restore sheep populations that have disappeared elsewhere.
In order to protect this unique herd, the Forest Service is seeking ways to reduce human disturbance in crucial sheep winter range. Human influences on bighorn sheep habitat, including recreation, pose the biggest threat to stability of the herd, according to the Forest Service.
Don't muddy up their gene pool! ;)
