Winter’s Rations 3I5802

As the snows fall, Bighorn sheep descend from their summer mountain tops to lower grounds in search of winter’s rations. Grazing and browsing on the desiccated remnants of a season gone by is a full-time job. The dry vegetation has much less nutritional value than its healthy summer counterpart, and even though they seem to eat almost constantly, most generally lose weight during the long, cold, winter season. Winter’s rations may be sparse but this young ram doesn’t seem to notice. #BighornSheep
