About This Book
Two roaming cowhands take a surprisingly high-paying job tending a large flock and soon suspect something amiss. Strange occurrences—a stray bullet, an oddly behaving sheep, absent herding dogs, and camp sabotage—turn routine chores into a sequence of comic predicaments. Their cowboy instincts clash with unfamiliar sheep work as tensions rise while they await supplies and explanations, culminating in a physical, explosive mishap that upends their camp. The narrative mines humor from their plainspoken observations, regional speech, and the mismatch between cattlemen skills and the eccentricities of sheep ranching.
