Maybe an idea for a grant proposal to the ACA? A test area? Someone like SG to identify a problem area, assemble an application team and set up a long term monitoring for efficacy.

Do all are above timber areas in Alberta have an abundance of shrubs? Some maybe. In some of the valleys and up a little ways on the hills. But as your lack of knowledge shows once again many areas sheep frequent are only short grasses and lychens.
These areas could burn if targeted but they have yet to be targeted.
I think you should maybe try and spend some time out there before you try and come up with all the answers. For one people would look at you in a better light.
