In January, Colorado Parks and Wildlife began an operation to capture 20 Rampart Bighorn Sheep to start a new herd.
Every morning staff and volunteers have been spreading apple pulp and alfalfa to prep the sheep for capture at an old quarry above Colorado Springs. Officials said the sheep will be relocated to the mountains southwest of Pueblo to start a new herd.
The bales of hay and apple pulp are intended to lure the 150-member Rampart herd, where a net will be set up to catch 20 of the Bighorn Sheep.
