Excerpt from The Circle K or Fighting for the Flock Spring had come to the Western sheep range, and throughout all the Wide domain Of sage and Sky the sheep were moving. From an airship poised high above, anyone with eyes to see might have witnessed a wondrous sight, for across the vast gravelly plains Of Montana and Wyoming, the rolling dun reaches Of Utah and the whitish sands Of New Mexico, through the billowy brush Of Oregon and Idaho, and amidst the rocky mesas and the aspen vales Of southwestern Colorado, thousands upon thousands, in close-packed column after column, as a great woolly army were trailing steadily onward, under sun and dust, the sheep, in annual pilgrimage from the low deserts Of winter to the lofty plateaus Of summer. Behind, in their sturdy canvas-topped wagons, or ahorse, or trudging afoot, followed the guardian herders - hard worked, Silent men, accustomed to solitude, but glad now to be exchanging the Winter monotony for the shearing pens and the lambing range.
