Haven't seen much else information, but a pretty crazy story.

Montana man gets 6 months in prison for cloning giant sheep and breeding it

An 81-year-old Montana has been sentenced to six months in federal prison and ordered to pay $24,000 in penalties for using tissue and testicles from large sheep hunted in Central Asia and the U.S. to illegally create hybrid sheep for captive trophy hunts in Texas and Minnesota.

Thanks for posting this. It is a very interesting and wild story.
I have not heard anything about it from any Montana news sources.

I was at A&M when the first cloned horse was born. I asked the lady that made it if she could clone me. She had no sense of humor, zero.

Wonder if we will be getting a Sheep King documentary on Netflix?

That’s some mad scientist stuff. I don’t know enough about what he was doing if it was really a problem or just someone thought it was.

I think the scientists were just jealous they didn’t think of it first .

The USFWS ruined someone’s Texas free range, not a high fence, just as tough as any DIY wild sheep hunt, sheep hunt.

Dang

Evidently there's at least one of these running around Oregon may have to research that further!
