(COLORADO SPRINGS) — A Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPW) biologist is leading a team to trap several bighorn sheep and relocate them to mountains near Pueblo. CPW terrestrial biologist Tyrel Woodward will be leading a team throughout the month of January to trap 20 bighorn sheep at an old quarry above Colorado Springs. On Tuesday, Jan. 14, CPW staffers John Barkowski and Joey Livingston helped distribute bales of hay and apple pulp to lure 150-member Rampart herd to a site where a net would be set up to catch 20 sheep. "The payoff for COParksWildlife staff and volunteers who get up early and often fight freezing temps and snow to do the daily feeding is a closeup view of the majestic bighorn sheep, CO's state mammal and the symbol of CPW," said CPW on X. "Sometimes the rams spar and stomps." WATCH BELOW: Rams, ewes, and yearlings run out when they see the hay and apple pulp. For decades, CPW has rebuilt herds across Colorado this way. In 1944, it took Colorado Wildlife Pros four years to successfully capture 27 bighorn sheep and those sheep rebuilt herds statewide. The sheep that are captured in January will be relocated to mountains southwest of Pueblo.
