Sweetwater Ranch welcomes two female elk to the herd

NEWLAND — Love was in the air this past week at Sweetwater Ranch, as two female elk were introduced to Bert Valery’s elk herd on Wednesday, Feb. 10, just in time for Valentine’s Day.
The lucky male in this case was Braveheart, who previously was Sweetwater Ranch’s lone elk. Valery said that Braveheart was both surprised and happy to have some female company. The two new females of the herd come courtesy of Carolina Bison, who Valery says started their own elk herd with one male and two females and was able to grow the herd up to 40 elk. At Sweetwater Ranch, the two females are already pregnant, and Valery expects the first births to take place in just a couple months.
