Goats Harvest in Southwest Mountains in New Mexico
In the remote New Mexico mountains near Las Trampas Spanish Americans still use goat herds for harvest. Herds are driven on hard packed ground to tread wheat into dust while farmers shovel chaff and grain into the air to clean it. The old custom, dating to Spanish conquistadores, continues among Juan and Pedro and local mountaineers.
