Sweetwater County Sheriff Mike Lowell said mounted herders are driving their sheep north from winter range south of Rock Springs to their spring lambing grounds.
The flocks crossed I-80 at the Highway 191 South interchange west of Rock Springs. Also lending a hand at the crossing was the Sheriff’s Office sole animal control officer and the county’s livestock range officer.
