DECEMBER 2009
Please join us in mourning the loss of Sandy's right-hand dog, Mister. He blessed our lives with 13 wonderful years, but on Tuesday, December 1st, it was time for him to follow the Good Shepherd to summer range forever. Words cannot express how much he will be missed.

"He seemed neither old nor young. The character of his strength lay in his eyes. They looked as old as the hills and as young as the wild. I never tired of looking at them."
~ John Muir

Special Thanks to David and Susan Semas of Buffalo Creek Ranch, for allowing us to come out for a fun day at their gorgeous ranch and vinyards at the foot of magnificent Job's Peak. We had a wonderful time!

OCTOBER 2009
The nomadic sheepherder followed bands of sheep on the open range to look after them, and he needed a "home on wheels" for protection from harsh winter weather. Thus was born the sheepwagon. By 1910, Wyoming boasted more than 5 million sheep, and with one shepherd and a couple of dogs, they could care for as many as 3,000 sheep in a single band. It is feasible to say that, in the height of the sheep industry, there could have been as many as 3,000 sheep wagons in Wyoming alone. Old-timers reported that one could see a sheepwagon on every hilltop on the winter range. Time and modern convenience has changed many things, including the way of the traditional sheepherder. But wherever the herder placed the sheepwagon became known as Sheep Camp. Ever changing, always moving.
