Not to sure about that. And yes I’m saying trail miles. I’ve looked at the CO map for the last couple of days and it’s fairly apparent that most of the areas in CO you cannot get terrible far in, not like WY, ID, NV.... thanks for the info.
Oh you must be referring to this BS. Where their BS science found BS pathogens that are known to give free ranging bighorn sheep BS pneumonia.

Potential disease agents in domestic goats and relevance to bighorn sheep (Ovis canadensis) management - PMC
Domestic goats are raised for meat, milk and hair production, in herds for rangeland weed control, and as pack animals. Domestic sheep, goats and wild bighorn sheep are all susceptible to a multifactorial pneumonia. We sampled 43 herd goats from 7 ...
“The goats in this study were in generally good health, although most goats did harbor various pathogens and parasites including several bacteria, specifically Pasteurellaceae, which have been associated with pneumonia in free-ranging bighorn sheep.”
I do wish you good luck on your hunt, but just rent some llamas for your once in a lifetime CO high country trip. There are several llama outfitters in CO and some will even deliver to your trailhead.
Don’t worry I will! And not all goats have MOVI!!!!!! Are you aware of that?
So you think you should be able to take your goats wherever you want because they CAN give bighorns pneumonia, but that’s okay because it’s just mild pneumonia?
Just because no fatalities were noted doesn’t mean there aren’t negative impacts to herds like reduced lamb recruitment.
Your goats don’t have to actively have pneumonia to transmit the pathogens that cause pneumonia in bighorns. Are you aware of that?
Not much yellow in there? You colorblind?
For Christ sake PALE yellow. Do you prefer tan? Is that better? Basically every bit of alpine in the state is shaded pale yellow to indicate bighorn sheep range.
Point is there is a thread for discussing this already as to not muck this thread up. I suggest finding and ranting on that one.
Hey there stud know it all.... all my goats are ivamec’d, CD&T, and checked at 2 years old for MOVI. And every other stupid vaccination that they don’t need cause it kills the good bacteria in there digestive system! Because 4-H requires it for my children to kick all the other kid’s ass at fair. My goats are so good they made a rule you can only show 1 goat in pack, all other categories you can show 3-4! And since they’ve been doing that since I got goats 9 years ago pretty sure my goats are some of the most disease free goats out there! Take your BS and go shovel elsewhere, @Big Fin you can close this thread now please.
