Description:

The disappearance of bighorn sheep (Ovis canadensis) populations in western North America has stimulated several attempts at reintroducing bighorn onto historic ranges. Many of the early attempts failed becouse of an ignorance of bighorn behavior and demographic characteristics. Utilizing survival and fertility data available from literature, a series of computer simulations were run to answer the question: >>what is the optimum number and sex and age composition for sheep to ulilize in a reintroduction attempt?<<
