The sheep finally appeared!

Arizona sheep history 1 Minute

The last of the sheep events at Friendship Village, Tempe took place a few weeks ago. The last event was without the lambs as they could not be brought by the FFA students. But sheep were still present.

The event location was changed from an enclosed patio space to the “circle.” Four, approximately 125 pound, eight-month old sheep belonging to Tony Lucas were brought by the village for everyone who wanted to come by and see them. Tony also talked about being on the trail with the sheep.

The stars of the show!
The event would not have been complete without Ann and her lambs visiting the sheep!
Sheep camp and trailing items.
Friendship Village residents!
Just fooling around at the end of the day!

I wish to thank Friendship Village for their interest in the Arizona Sheep Industry and allowing me to be a part of a great events!

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.
