Of all the dreams from childhood, of sailing the seas and steering the stars, never once did I think I’d be a sheepherder. Shows what I know. More to the point, I would never have believed I’d enjoy it, but the truth is that I do.
In fact, of several interesting occupations ranging from journalist to mariner (and construction worker), I’d have to say that the small-scale sheep ranching I’ve done for going on 2 years now is possibly the most satisfying work in my history, especially the lambing.
