Wow, Dan, great timing and I like the way we can see at least one of the ram's face.

Yeah, great shot, you can defintiely feel the impact!

Love this shot just because it gives you an idea of the force behind the headbutt. The back legs completely stretched, front legs up...

Great shot Dan, there were a number of big horned sheep herds up the Thompson canyon recently but I couldn't find two males fighting, all was peace and harmony, although the rams were a little bit interested in the females. :-)
