Rocky Mountain Bighorn Rams are fascinating to watch. Yesterday, we again had an opportunity to spend time with a large herd of Bighorn Sheep. During much of the year, the rams stick together in a tight knit gang until fall when they come together with the female family groups during the rut. But, despite their interest in finding a female to mate with, the rams have developed such a bond that they remain close, and seem to spend more time with each other than looking for a female. Of course they are determined to mate and are often distracted but they quickly return to their buddies to feed, nudge, and hang out. There is an occasional clashing of horns but yesterday we didn’t see any serious rivalry,
