out the feed and you will lose your 

 range. 



The ranger wants to be your friend. 

 It is his job to see that you handle 

 your sheep so they do not damage the 

 range. He will help you with advice 

 and suggestions if you wish him to. If 

 you herd your sheep properly he will 

 have the supervisor give you a card of 

 thanks and recommendation stating 

 that you are a good herder. If you do 

 qot handle your sheep properly he will 

 have to report to the supervisor that 

 you are a poor herder. If you are 

 given a card of recommendation keep 

 it. Whenever you want a job herding 

 sheep show the card. Your Govern- 

 ment card will show everyone that you 

 are a good herder and will help you get 

 a job anywhere. 



Following are the main points to be 

 kept in mind: 



1. Use your dog just as little as 

 possible. 



2. The less you drive your sheep the 

 fatter the lambs. 



3. When you must take your sheep 

 to water, allow them to graze in and 

 do not use the same trail all the time. 



4. Feed to water over range already 

 used. Save your new range for feed- 

 ing out from water. 



5. The use of one bed. ground more 

 than three times will mean a 10 per 

 cent cut in your number of sheep. 



6. Do not shade on the creeks. An 

 hour on the creek is enough for water- 

 ing the sheep. 



7. Keep your best range with the 

 nearest water for the hottest part of 

 the summer.
