Another fun count this year.
I took the backroads to the desert and saw this guy run in front of me. I pulled over and took a picture as he buried himself to try and hide.
The remarkable thing was we saw 99-100% lamb survival. Every single ewe that came over the hill had a lamb following her. The lambs ranged in age.
Even the pros get cholla bombed:
Some more pics:

I finally got some video together from the sheep count. All of it is pretty shaky since it is hand held and a long long lens.
A ewe fending off the attention of a young ram. This went on for hours. I only took a short video clip:
Here is a composite of clips showing more sheep:
