Item 41: A sheep ranch in lambing time

Color image shows a herd of sheep and lambs in a pasture with a stream running through it. On the foreground side of the stream is a man on horseback and one on foot. The background view shows pens, barns, and a horse-drawn cart riding past the sheep. Printed on reverse: "Lambing time of the sheep range is the harvest of the sheep rancher, next to shearing time this is his most trying time. This happens in the spring when the grass is sprouting, and the danger of spring storms is still to be reckoned on. Nothing is more beautiful than a herd of little lambs and their mothers." No location given but probably Montana, given the publisher, who was known for his images of Montana. Published and copyrighted by Chas. E.
