A LITTLE RANCH WORK

a photo essay by Jamie Burns

These photos were taken at Marsha Westerman's Texas ranch, in June 2006, on a day when the flock of more than two hundred sheep was being dewormed and forty were sorted off to be sold. The dogs are Twin Oaks Texas Tornado of That'll Do ATDsd OTDc RTDs (Tori) and Live Oaks Jeb of That'll Do STDs (Jeb), both owned by Marsha.
