Description

Leanna Wentz is no stranger to herding sheep, her family has been running sheep and cattle for over 10 generations. But running sheep in Hells Canyon is a different beast. Sheep are always trying to die, and Hells Canyon is one of the most hostile places I've ever been that wasn't an active war zone.  But Leanna's family made it work. From 1992 to 1998, her family had the last sheep permit in the U.S. that was run 12 months of the year on forest service land, until their operation was shut down due to fear of disease transmission to wild bighorns. She's got some wild stories of moving 2,200 head up and down the Snake River and across steep terrain. Wild stories of protecting the herd and of life in the canyon. Her stories are worth preserving and hopefully not the last of their kind.  Email Leanna: leannawentz@gmail.com Check out my favorite Stanley products in the 6 Ranch Outfitters Collection, and use discount code 6ranch for 25% off.
