I've never seen more than a couple at a time. Ewe and a couple of lambs, maybe. I'm assuming the same nomenclature applies to these guys as your domestic sheep.

A fact about the bighorns I found amazing. The head-butting duels everyone has seen in nature videos sometimes more dire than I imagined. At times, they butt heads so hard that hooves fall off.
