Indeed Lothar but I think these were quite wild and not harvested! Good to see you.

I'm guessing that these are the sheep with the fantastic mountain climbing abilities. Down for a feed in the rich spring meadow I expect.

A delightful shot Herb.

I guess that you would be right there Keith. A lot of high, steep mountains around here too. They probably go back to the higher pastures later in the year.

Cheers, Herb

... a nice little series, informative: a photographic zoo ...

... this herd is a light-colored variation, and ample forage and water in the Rockies allows the males to get as big as 500 pounds ...

Thanks for this Wally. Glad you liked this series. It was never my intention to publish them all but after gathering the collection and posting a few more Rocky mountain landscapes, the time seem to be about right. You seem to know a lot more about these than I do, so I go with your info. :)

Cheers, Herb
