Big Jim and his Wolf Blood Sheep Dogs in Buffalo Wyoming
A rugged Western man called Big Jim arrives in Buffalo Wyoming with two giant black sheep dogs. He explains these dogs are half wolf, trained to signal with gestures, patrol the flock, protect against coyotes, and accompany him on open-range drives. The piece recounts dog loyalty, peril of blizzards, and the critical role of sheep dogs in managing 2,500 to 3,000 sheep per herder, plus anecdotes of protection, training, and the dogs' place in ranch life.
