The bighorn sheep haven’t been real visible this winter but I’ve had moderate success in finding them. The lambs, even when they’re at this age are still very cute and their fluffy winter coats certainly adds to that cuteness. I often wonder what these youngsters think since they’re born in the relative warmness of spring and grow up during the summer only to have their worlds turned into a world of deep white snow for 4 or 5 months. The wild sheep population in the Lionhead and southern Madison ranges have managed to do really well to the point where they have relocated sheep from this area to other parts of Montana to help repopulate ranges that have lost signficant animals due to pneumonia. Pneumonia in bighorns can wipe out entire herds so it’s good to see this population thriving.
