Herd of sheep grazing on BLM range in Utah’s west desert.

This is a photograph I took of a herd of sheep in April 2017.  The Onaqui herd of wild horses are frequently seen in this spot and in the hills just above the sheep.  I still did not capture all of the sheep that were in this valley.  Two huge white sheepdogs were at my car door and I was unable to get out of the car to photograph all of the sheep.  By comparison, I would guess the total number of horses in the Onaqui Herd Management Area (HMA) is less than 180 right now.

If you click on the photograph it will take you to a larger panoramic video to get a better appreciation of how many sheep are in the photograph.
