dendary and sheep
We have many good friends that immigrated from the Basque country as sheepherders and now have other professions. They enjoy helping out at the ranch with shearing, marking, separating lambs, etc. And we enjoy having them. Frank Dendary first came to Elko county in the early '40s to work with the sheep. He then became a professional blacksmith in Winnemucca. This is Frank helping separate the lambs from the ewes. The lambs will come to the home ranch to the alfalfa fields, and the ewes will return to the mountains until late fall.
