No, I have no explanation. Regrettably it was impossible to get closer to make a sharper image and/or a different composition.
The Icelandic sheep is a breed of domestic sheep. They exist in both horned and polled strains. Generally left unshorn for the winter, the breed is very cold-hardy. In Iceland, this breed is almost exclusively bred for meat. The meat has a fine grain and distinct, delicate flavor. The meat of the Icelandic sheep is considered a gourmet style of meat.
Duing summer, the sheep live on meadows and in autumn, during a roundup, they go back to the farmers. This shot was taken near Myvatn and shows the return of the sheep.
One of the ranches in the Bear Lake Valley raises horses and trains them for sheep herders. The horses are kept in a large field without much interaction with people until they are rounded up. They are pretty wild at that point, but are separated into groups for training or breeding. The roundups are really wild, with horses milling around in a dusty corral as they are selected. The dust, noise, and action is unbelievable. This photos was taken in 2006 and scanned from a slide. It was chosen for the cover of Idaho Magazine in October 2006.
Bringing the sheep down for a clip and a dip.
Scab is a problem in the Lakes so dipping sheep is a common practice. Sheep are generally brought down for shearing after May and all is done by August. The profit for the fleece is almost non existent, most farmers would claim that when they have paid for shearing they make a loss.
The landscape of the Lakes owes much to three main factors- 1. The Ice Age 2. 500,000,000 years of geology and 2. Sheep.

After viewing Flickr friend Neurandy's posting of his most recent painting (www.flickr.com/photos/46438776@N03/25232946359/in/datepos...) I was inspired to go back to shots from the Mantle Ranch roundup that were held in Three Forks Montana. The last one was held in 2012. I miss this event!

From grandparents to grandkids (the boy in the back right is 8 years old), this family works together to heard their cattle out of the San Juan Mountains north of Pagosa Springs, Colorado in September. We went out to take pictures of the foliage and got a bonus when we ran into the Snyder family herding their cattle out of the high country.
