The
Big Horn Sheep
weathervane is a unique
West Coast Weather Vanes design; we make each weathervane to individual
order, and customers can specify that it be made in all copper, in a combination of
copper and brass or with optional gold leaf. We have depicted our Big Horn
Sheep
perched on a mountain to reflect its natural habitat.
The Big Horn Sheep
(Ovis Canadensis),
is one of three species of mountain sheep in North America and
Siberia; the other two species being Ovis dalli, that includes Dall Sheep
and Stone's Sheep, and the Siberian Snow sheep Ovis nivicola..
In lower regions below the tree line, nannies also
use their fighting abilities to protect themselves and their offspring from
predators, such as
wolves,
wolverines,
cougars,
lynx
and
bears.
Even though their size protects them from most potential predators in higher
altitudes, females still must defend their young from eagles, which can be a
threat to very young kids.

The
Alpine Goat weathervane featured in the photos (right & left), was made in
the extra large (4') size, as the home on which it was placed was quite large.
Interestingly, the owners of this weathervane raised goats to assist in the
production of antibodies to fight disease in humans.
