Living at the time in Colorado, we heard about a family of Norwegian-American sheepherders in Montana who were among the last to trail their band of sheep long distances -- about 150 miles each year, all of it on hoof -- up to the mountains for summer pasture. ❋ George Heymont (2010)
Because they were borrowed from existing social codes of the time, and modified to suit the needs of a wandering band of aggressive sheepherders. ❋ Unknown (2010)
Immigrants trekking to Oregon despised and feared it as a waterless desert, but nineteenth-century sheepherders from California discovered it was a good place to over-winter. ❋ Annie Proulx (2011)
These guys being interrogated are not innocent sheepherders, they are trained, evil, ideologues who would kill Americans any way they could. ❋ Unknown (2009)
The staff at Erick Schat's makes more than 450 items from scratch each day, the most popular of which are their killer sandwiches and the famous and trademarked Sheepherder bread, a hand-shaped French-style loaf that was introduced to the area by the Basque sheepherders over 100 years ago. ❋ Unknown (2011)
Kahlil came from a family of sheepherders who had covered the central highlands on foot. ❋ Iddhis Bing (2012)
If there had been a band of gorillas living by the Dead Sea, or a band of chimpanzees living on the Mount of Olives, do you think one of the sheepherders might have modified the relevant bit of his creation mythology to read, "And then Yahweh created the great apes, and he took a rib from a chimpanzee and it became the first human"? ❋ Unknown (2010)
But the bronze age sheepherders typing out the Old Testament on a piece of goatskin didn't know about the great apes, or even the monkeys, which did not live around what the desert nomads thought of as the centre of the universe but which we now call the Middle East, a kind of evolutionary backwater with barely enough species known to fill a boat. ❋ Unknown (2010)
The gatherings were one of the few opportunities that sheepherders had to talk to anyone but their four-legged charges. ❋ Molly O’Neill (2010)
To raise money to support Basque historical projects such as the restoration of one of the boardinghouses that became “home away from home” for sheepherders as well as the social center of the Basque immigrant community, the couple give a lamb barbecue each year. ❋ Molly O’Neill (2010)
A few sheepherders moved their flocks along the road. ❋ Michael Franzak (2010)
Walking up the steps from the cove, Gabrielle said if we were to eat lunch together then it couldn't be at a place tourists frequent, it couldn't be at one of the few places our guidebook and biking sheepherders recommended. ❋ Unknown (2010)
Walking up the steps from the cove, Gabrielle said if we were to eat lunch together then it couldn't be at a touristy place, not at one of the places recommended by the guidebook or our Italian biking sheepherders. ❋ Unknown (2010)
Many of these families can trace their roots back to the early Hispanic sheepherders that roamed the area or the ranchers that worked the land. ❋ Unknown (2010)
