Linn County trapper Jim Schacht treed and killed a cougar that had killed at least four pet sheep at a 50th Avenue home last week.
The cougar killed at least four American black-bellied Barbados sheep, carrying one year-old sheep over the fence into the trees across 50th Avenue the night of Aug. 15 or morning of Aug. 16. Two other sheep remain missing, including a 2-week-old lamb, from the flock of 10.
