Shepherds on Bicycles Pioneer Ranch Herding on West Fresno Plains
Frank Smith leads scattered sheep herds on a bicycle across level plains between Fresno slough and the Coast Range foothills.

The plains offer a vast, roadless expanse where cattle and sheep move with minimal fences and frequent rains create vibrant, green cover rare in the dry season.
