When you hear "ranching", cattle most likely comes to mind but in the open spaces of eastern Arizona it is just as likely to mean sheep! Driving sheep from desert floor to the mountains of Arizona is a yearly ritual for Duane Dobson and family.

I have a small flock of Icelandic wool sheep in Northern California. I do dream of being able to herd them to green pastures. I would take a herd of 30 goats around my 40 acres to eat brush on a "goat walk" & always figure I was paying myself per hour (saving money from paying the extreme hay prices as they are now, as well as fencing prices) It is a very peaceful way of life. I am thankful to live this way rather than in the fast lane. Thank you for posting this. It is wonderful to see.

This is a great video and thanks for sharing it, and I might be wrong, but I think that the Manterola Sheep Company are still herding sheep into Northern Arizona.
