Sheep for milking in the high Pyrenees

Sheep in the Pyrenees are normally kept for the milk they produce. The farmers use the high meadows when the weather will allow. The photo was taken on the Col d'aubisque, 1,700 meters (5,525 ft) above sea level. Yes the same, infamous Col that is cycled each year in the Tour d'France (Cretes Blaches)
