All 37 elk that Ron Stigall bought last winter to start his Cross Canyon Elk Ranch near Salmon will be destroyed because they came from a Colorado operation where an elk was found to have chronic wasting disease.
Phil Mamer, a veterinary medical officer for the Idaho Department of Agriculture, said Stigall's ranch was quarantined Sept. 19 after it was learned that its elk came from the Rancho Anta Grande in Del Norte, Colo.
