The bighorn sheep rut (mating season) is nearly here. During the rut, which typically spans from mid-to-late November through January, rams (males) will battle for ewes (females) and, well, ram each other headlong in a display of dominance. When they do this, they can crash into each other at speeds of up to 40 mph and the crack of their head-on-head collision can sometimes be heard up to one mile away! Always remember to observe wildlife from a safe distance to keep yourself and animals safe. |

As spring arrives, bighorn sheep 🐑 resume their diet of grasses and clover. (Eating woodier plants like sage and willow in the winter). ☘️ They are ruminants with a 4-part stomach that allows them to eat a lot, then retreat to a cliff, safe from predators, to rechew and digest. They absorb moisture during this digestive process, so they can go without water for long periods of time. / 🎬 @montanamaaike 🙏 | The Ranch at Rock Creek
