in droves at the feeding station. Swung in there with my daughter and there were a ton. It was cool as they were fighting over an ice chunk for water. Not very good for pics but fun for my daughter and I. I had a 5 gallon bag of frozen water in the back of my truck from all of my travel adventures. I got out a knife and peeled off the plastic and slipped the ice under the fence. They loved it. They aren't feeding yet, but the sheep are sure wanting it.

Very cool. You always seem to be in the right place at the right time.

Going to Boise back in October I was headed east on 84 (IIRC) and could see them from the freeway. Don't remember the mile marker, but over a half dozen on the side of the hill.

It wasn't photo worthy really, but was sure cool, and I had my daughter from Spokane stand next to me and we had a whole pile of sheep within feet of us. One tried to eat a weed through the fence less than a foot from her. Then there was all of the mild head smacking over the ice. REALLY cool for her. Had two ewes get into it. I had no idea they head butted

U litterally had to stop for them in the canyon Tuesday afternoon. there were about 30 head right smack in the middle of the road.

Thanks bullrider. Mostly I was there for reference photos for Michelle and to show my oldest the sheep. She never gets to see them.

If all works out right we are going to Sunnyside next weekend for the lighted implement parade, hopefully taking my buddy and his wife and 2 year old boy. I am going to try to plan a way to get up to the feeding stations to show them some animals. Are they feeding the elk? My buddy just took hunters ed this year and ate his tags so at least he can see the animals up close and drool, plus I want to see the look on his boys face when he can see the animals.

There are animals around the stations but they haven't started feeding yet as far as I know. This ram was still on the mountain chasing tail.

while heading up 410 on Friday morning, we had to stop 2x for bighorns in the middle of the road...they were licking the pavement and couldn't care less about our vehicle. They moved upon us slolwly driving up within 20' and honking the horn.
as we passed, looking In the sideview mirror, the sheep moved back down to the pavement/slush-ice and continued their licking. Two nice rams each in the two bunches of sheep.

Bone, Great pics as usual. My last few trips through the canyon I haven't seen much and I was starting to wonder just how many sheep were put down due to illness. Glad to hear they are doing well.
