Sheep Invasion Threatens White Pine Ranchers
White Pine County faces a costly sheep invasion from northern bands that graze on spring ranges, depleting feed for local cattle. Stockmen report losses valued up to 600,000 and warn that many cattle operations switch to sheep, reducing local beef supply and increasing tax strain. Similar incursions are reported in Nye County with up to 70,000 sheep moving to Idaho in spring, per the Ely Expositor.

Squirrels Easily Destroyed Simple Remedy Farmers Adopt
A new method to rid farms of squirrels without poison or smoke has drawn attention nationwide. On several ranches in California and beyond, the technique reportedly destroyed many squirrels by stuffing paper into each burrow before filling with dirt. Timid squirrels are said to retreat as the paper makes a rattling sound, potentially suffocating or causing restlessness for the animal. Farmers applying this method hope to eliminate the pest across properties.
