Elk do seem to not get EHD very often but I have had one die from it in forty years. We have many with genetics of 500 to 600 typical antler frame. But out here in Montana we have to sell out of State as we have no harvest facilities due to a public vote on the harvesting of these animals behind our fence. Fair chase was what they expected for an on farm slaughter.
Elk that will be 400 inch's by four years old sell well and make some money. Calves or yearlings are the best way to go if you buy them in my opinion. Price on calves is 1500 to 2000 with yearlings at about 500 to 800 more of the calf price.
Hybrid sheep have never had EHD on my place even when they lost 90 plus percent of wild whitetail all around me from it. We raise bighorn and stone sheep hybrids. We do raise 50 to 100 lambs a year and sell almost all of them each year. Price on lambs is 1500 to 3500 just depends on lamb genetics.
This ram was sold into Texas and then sold to a harvest facility in Nb. Ram was born on my ranch from my genetics.
