This is one of the largest stock ranches of the county. The ranch contains 11,000 acres. After shearing, the sheep are "run" in the mountains, being brought back to the ranch in the fall, to range in the winter. To care for the number of sheep kept on this ranch requires the careful attention of a number of men. The sheep must be guarded night and day against the ravages of coyotes and from straying away and getting lost. The herders who take care of the sheep are constantly with them, sometimes a month or even longer without a com panion and only the bleating of the sheep to break the monotony of the mountain stillness.
