Jousting Rams

These were all taken within 100 miles of Missoula. Great way to spend a day watching these guys go at it. After their bout they go up and rub noses with each other. They are herd animals and after hard head buts, don't want any hard feelings remaining. They still have to get along. Its just that one gets to spend some time with Sally and the other doesn't. Hard to tell which one gets Sally. She has a reputation to uphold and won't give in at the first pass. There are a couple of shots of young rams paying homage to the Alpha male by kissing his ??? go look. It's on the other sheep page. Looks like something right out of the Mafia
