SD Badlands NP sheep dieoff

[warmer]

Had an email come across my desk this morning that several sheep in Badlands NP were found dead and necropsy indicates pneumonia. Also indicated that visitors and staff are reporting coughing in the herd. I googled and came up empty. Any SD guys or other sheep guys heard anything?

not good if this is true

Major bummer if true. The Badlands herd is what put SD on the bighorn sheep map as of late.

I have seen some emails and Facebook posts that indicate this is true. Still waiting on some kind of official news from GFP.
