A flock of nearly 1,100 sheep have arrived at the Bureau of Land Management’s Cronan Ranch, and a flock of nearly 800 sheep will soon arrive at Magnolia Ranch, to graze invasive weeds and reduce wildfire threat. Sheep herders will manage the flocks, moving them across the grassy slopes and meadows with assistance from herding dogs and livestock protection dogs. The sheep will be grazing behind temporary fencing to allow the sheep herder to keep the sheep in an area long enough to have the vegetation uniformly grazed and/or trampled down.
