The Blue Sheep were grazing,
and gradually kept going higher and higher,
We did not follow them all the way up.

it was lunch time,
and getting hungery
the guide took us to a remote village of his relatives
barely a handful of homes.

We headed for location of the Blue Sheep where all the males were together.
they were grazing, and gradually going away and higher from us.
for some time, from a safe distance we followed them

All males and possible some young females who cannot get pregnant.
they had stopped grazing by now,
and decided to take a rest.
