We have another baby! A second Bighorn sheep lamb was born on Sunday, April 24. It's a girl (ewe) and playfully leaping with the other lamb born on March 23. This is the first lamb for the ewe which was also born here on Mother's Day 2014. So how can they so easily scamper across a rock face?  Check it Out!
