Just a few pictures from my trip to southern Arizona and a sheep ranch. Dennis and Deb, the ranchers, were very hospitable. We learned a great deal about their ranching lives and I will write more on it when I get it approved by them to ensure accuracy. I don’t want to misquote anyone. In the meantime, I hope you enjoy the pictures from their ranch. They also have other animals, but never photographed them. These are churros. Deb also processes the wool into beautiful yarn.
It came to my attention a few years ago that the sheep industry in Arizona was disappearing. I love history, traveling to new places and research. These have been combined in researching this history. I am an independent researcher and speaker and also part of AZ Speaks with the Arizona Humanities. I hold a BA in Anthropology, a MA and Ph.D. in geography. My masters was in land use geography and the Ph.D. was more in historical geography. I love to travel and have visited all seven continents and more than 50 countries. I am a member of the Women Writing the West.
