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.

... 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 ...

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
