Yosemite's newly reintroduced Cathedral Bighorn Herd made it through their first winter in the Cathedral Range with 100% survival! Not only did all the adults survive, but the two lambs, now yearlings, also survived the winter. The Cathedral Bighorn Herd has officially grown to a total of 14 bighorns (10 adult ewes, 2 adult rams, and 2 yearlings). The majority of the herd remains at high elevation (above 11,000 ft) and are proving themselves to be incredibly tough and hearty.
