Bighorn Sheep's Message and Medicine

Balance / Strength / Power / Virility / New Beginnings

Bighorn sheep are the largest and best known wild sheep in the North American continent. These mountain dwellers reside on rocky ridges and cliff ledges. Bighorn sheep get their name from their massive curved horns, which spiral backwards, from the top of the head of the mature males. The horns are used as weapons for defense and are also a status symbol. This muscular bodied animal is covered with a brown coat. Its belly, rump, back of legs, muzzle and eye patch are white. Bighorn Sheep is a grazing animal. Its diet consist of tender grasses, such as June grass, wheat grass, and blue grass. These alert sentinels have exceptionally keen eyesight, smelling and hearing abilities. Their unusually strong cloven hooves are hard on the outside and soft on the inside. The hooves act as shock absorbers making the sheep an excellent climber and jumper.

Bighorn sheep’s message is that of new beginnings. If you have this animal for your power ally, have confidence in your powers to land safely on your feet, in most circumstances. The spiral horn symbolizes your creativity, energy, and endurance. You can initiate new projects and have the strength to complete them. Defend your territory and test your strength, but do not lock horns just to prove your point. Think before you act. Stay in balance with your environment by hiking ,walking, or climbing. Take a class to expand your mind and use your imagination to reach new heights of achievement. Seek new opportunities in your work and relationship areas. Now is a good time to make changes . You can accomplish a lot if you are prepared.

Have a ton of pics and expereinces with these guys.

They truly are magnificent. Saw some recently on CR43 headed towards Tanglewood Trail and Deer Creek Campground.

I saw a group of 4 on the top of Red Hill Pass yesterday afternoon.

beautiful pics everyone, thanks for sharing I can't get enough of them

Dare I mention that if you are cr43 headed towards the campground or trail, keep your eyes peeled for the bull moose who frequents the area. Right now his antlers are about 10 inches long but we have seen him when they are massive. And he is massive. When he decides he wants the trail, we give it to him.

Very cool, akilina, have you seen him this year? You must be living in the area. I would love to see one again - from a distance... ran into one last year a bit too close and surprised, he was in the middle of the willows and I crossed the creek.
