Do free range animals like free range cattle and sheep quality for research grade?

Not quite so clear cut a question; for example, iNat considers escaped domestic pets to be “wild” (https://help.inaturalist.org/en/support/solutions/articles/151000169932-what-does-captive-cultivated-mean-), so why not free-living livestock? For an analogous situation, see this thread about released hatchery fish: https://forum.inaturalist.org/t/hypothetical-situation-should-stocked-fish-be-considered-wild/2459.
