Sheep Raising Primary Industry in Uintah County
Uintah County trails 62,500 sheep under grazing as the Basin’s major industry for six decades. With 257,000 of 345,000 assessible acres used for grazing, the region relies on wool and sheep despite risks from predators pestilence and storms. Prices rose from 0.05 to 1.40 per pound, prompting calls for a Diamond Mountain truck road to connect to Craig, Heber and Green River railheads. Ralph Siddoway forecasts improved prospects for the wool and sheep sector.
