HARRISON, Neb. — All but one of the bighorn sheep that made it onto the Nebraska Game and Parks Commission caravan from Canada to the Pine Ridge made it safely home. One ewe died on the trip, leaving 40 survivors in Nebraska’s fifth herd to be relocated here since the once-native species died out to overhunting and livestock diseases .
