| 6:30 a.m. and the sheep are ready to be weighed and loaded. |
 |
| Weighing them in now before they're loaded will give them a higher value, because they'll lose weight in the trucks. |
 |
| About 4 of these large two rack diesel trucks will load sheep and head to California today. |
 |
| The sheep are herded through. |
 |
| This is Dular. |
 |
| This is his 3 yr. here from Peru. |
 |
| Dular has been herding sheep for 6 yrs. all together now in Utah. |
 |
| Sun breaks over the mountain at about 7:35 a.m. Good thing too, it was so cold that the sheep had frost on the top of them. |
 |
| Dular enjoys what he does. "I gets to provide for my family, also eh the dollar is more here in the United States." |
 |
| Dular uses a plastic rod to swat the backside of the sheep when they refuse to move, which seemed quite often. |
 |
| Some strays from other herds are found in with their sheep. |
 |
| Dular helps sort them out which one don't belong to them, by looked at ear markings. |
 |
| Then they'll toss the strays on the other side so they don't get mixed up. |
 |
| 9:10 a.m. All the sheep are sorted and ready to be loaded, but take a breather because loading them is a different story. |
