Nearly $1.2 million of that will go directly toward bighorn sheep conservation in the state.⁠
⁠
The world of wild sheep conservation hit a new milestone in January, when a single New Mexico bighorn tag sold for $1.3 million at auction during the 2025 Sheep Show. This is the highest price ever paid for a big-game auction tag in North America, replacing the previous record of $725,000 for a mule deer tag that was set at the Western Hunting & Conservation Expo in 2023.⁠
