Great crew!

July is finally here. I feel like we haven’t looked up since we left the Red Desert with the ewes in mid-April. Finally, all the ewes and lambs and all the cows and calves are on their summer Forest permits.
We have a fine crew of Peruvian employees (as well as young ladies from Germany, friends, family and American employees). Their families often check the blog in hopes of seeing pictures of these men, who leave home for three years at a time to seek their fortune as sheepherders in the American West. Our Germans, Inka and Johanna, were seeking adventure and stories to tell. Here are some photos of these good folks.
