The herd over in Loomis is pretty small. Not sure how it has rebounded from problems they were having...

I know one ram walked across Idabooners backyard clear over inthe Methow and that was their concern there. He jumped into a pen with a bunch of exotics. Probably thought he found an exotic strip club for sheep.
