2025—Trio of the Big Boys

Three of the big boys, those Bighorn Sheep rams with large curled horns, stuck close together in a group of more than a dozen rams gathered up the hill away from the ewes one afternoon. We’d heard the distinct sound of clashing horns from a distance before we found them. They clustered together tightly in a group. One would lift a hoof and paw at another ram to start a confrontation. Eventually, the two might engage in head butting and then back away to charge, crashing those massive horns together. The confrontation was usually one butt or charge, then they’d cluster back together again. The ram furthest back in this image seems to have recently lost of chunk of horn.
