Simpkins Two Big Horn Sheep Statue

In the fall, males have head butting contests to establish dominance. They run at each other at speeds of up to 20 miles an hour and ram their heads together. Rams usually only fight with rams who have horns that are about the same size as their horn. Head butting contests can last as long as 20 hours! The dominant ram will mate with more females than the other rams. When a male is ready to mate, he will go into a herd of females. The female will chase the male before they mate. Sometimes a male will kick a female to get her to chase him(nhptv.org).
