BordaRanchSheep how are they watered?
Question: How do all those sheep get the water they need? Answer: A representative from Borda Ranch, which supplies the herds of sheep that graze on cheat grass and other woodland fuels, gave us the following information. First, sheep do not require substantial amounts of water, unlike cattle or other grazing animals. The sheep are also resourceful, find good water sources, tend to stay near those water sources, and have a good memory of where water is located, like Thomas Creek and Whites Creek. In addition, lesser amounts of water still remain at various spots in the area, even in a dry year. Finally, the U.S. Forest Service or Borda Ranch will haul water to water deficient areas. That way the sheep can graze extensively to mitigate cheatgrass for fire control. The sheep are well taken care of while they are taking care of protecting us!
