Award-winning author and photographer Cat Urbigkit’s home base is on a western Wyoming ranch. She is a correspondent for a variety of media in the western region and a contributing writer to Stephen Bodio’s Querencia blog.
In this warm and lively memoir, Urbigkit eloquently documents a season spent with her dogs, burros, and the natural inhabitants of the western Wyoming range while tending a flock of domestic sheep. This enlightening read will appeal even to city dwellers who may not understand the impact of environmental protection policies that block off land from its traditional human uses.
