About this episode
In this episode of Talk is Sheep, we welcome Sam Cunningham to the podcast for a deep dive into one of the Lone Star State’s most pressing wild sheep issues, Aoudad.
Often overlooked and sometimes glamorized, aoudad (Barbary sheep) have become a major concern for native wildlife managers. Sam breaks down the challenges these non-native invaders pose to desert bighorn populations, the ecological ripple effects across West Texas, and what’s being done to mitigate the damage.
If you're a sheep hunter, conservationist, or just passionate about wild places, this is a conversation you won't want to miss.
