The true stories and struggles of 14 individuals in a herd of 50 matriarchs. America's iconic Bighorn Sheep show intelligence and complex social structure found in few creatures. These highly intelligent creatures socialize in uniquely large networks, something known to facilitate cognition. Sheep socialize in larger groups than either wolves or dogs. Small scattered populations have the odds stacked against them, as they toil against predators, disease, human encroachment, and harsh unforgiving environment. This documentary focuses on the raising of lambs to the age where they can finally leave the steepest safest places on their mountain. These intelligent iconic creatures guide you on a succession of mountain outings in the springtime of the year. Made entirely in the Scenic Wenas Wildlife Area, Washington State, USA.
