Typical Morrow
Sheep Ranch
A stock ranch, such as Hugh
Fields Ranch run by Frank
McKnighr, on Hinton Creek
10,000 sheep are stripped of
their fleeces each year. 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.
