This issue is still pending so I wanted to draw attention to the records.  I was looking at the WA sheep records and it's really sad.  Over about an 8 year span the blues and Blackbutte produced B&C sheep after sheep after sheep every year.  I remember the times because I was going to college down there and worked at a local sports shop.  We would go find rams and guys would bring theirs in to the story.  Then in 1995 they all died.  There are only a few left now and frankly they are so sick they won't get back to even the numbers we use to have.  I remember thinking back then if the population got better we would have even more rams as the population wasn't even at the max back then.  I think Blackbutte would give out 2 tags, Wenaha 2-3, Mountainview 2-3, Tucannon, Asotin, etc.  Now there is 1 or 2 tags.
