TheWoWDBI find it humorous how this quest basically consists of you running around whistling at rams in a flirtatious manner.
Cold mountain nights...

Just go south to the "Stolen Rams" and do the emote /whistle when you are near them.
You need to be more than near them. You have to have them targeted and near them and the /whistle.
Be careful you don't get both a raider and a bear, they're both nearby.

Description
The rams we raise and train here at Amberstill ranch have long been the mounts of choice for Dun Morogh's mountaineers. Aye, there're a few here, but not enough to guard my family and all the animals. A few brave Frostmane raiders have taken to stealing our rams under the cover of night, taking them south into the Tundrid Hills. Would you be willing to help return them? You'll need to get fairly close to them and give a sharp whistle to get their attention. Their training will take over from there.
Where to go
Pins are the quest’s own POI points from the current retail client, projected onto the in-game zone map. The game marks one blob as the quest’s turn-in; the rest are objective areas. Points that fall outside a map’s window are dropped rather than guessed at.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Protecting the Herd
We heard the cries in the middle of the night. Then this morning, sure enough, the herd was missing two rams. That dastardly beast known as Vagash has been preying on our livelihood. With Ironforge's troops already spread thin, there is no one to keep Vagash at bay.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Help for the Quarry
Thank you again for all your help here, <name>. I have a cousin who used to work in the mines beneath the Gol'Bolar Quarry, but he hasn't been able to work since troggs flooded into the mines and took control. The quarry and its camp are just to the southeast of the ranch.
