Traffic jam

The first part of October, the rancers bring their sheep down from the mountains and they use the main highway to get all 2000 sheep to their rances in the meadows. That is to say 2000 sheep at a time. I don't know how many sheep total over a period of a few days...I think there are two rancers --the one here is a member of our church-- and they each do seveal trips. One of the last 2000 is used in an annual parade through the middle of town where my daughter almost lost her life via sheep trampling...photos to come.

I was driving to town and luckily-for me- got stuck in the middle of all these little sheepies. I was even more excited when I realized I knew the rancer...he yelled,"Hello, Judy! You found a house yet?" Then about the sheep,"keep crowd'n 'em Judy!" It was really cool...I was excited to get to see them. The 40" drive to town took a little longer. The sheep move at 2mph...all 2000 of 'em.
