The decade-long attempt to clone and create hybrids from the hulking sheep, which can weigh 300lb and have curled horns up to five feet long, aimed to provide sheep to be used for trophy hunts in Texas and Minnesota.

Schubarth’s attorney described his client’s efforts as being like ‘Jurassic Park’ and told the court that cloning the enormous sheep has ‘ruined his client’s life’.
