Wool growing in New Mexico has grown to be one of the great industries of the southwest. Very few people are familiar with the practical side of sheep raising and shearing. The picture abounds with interesting scenes on and about a great sheep ranch. We see large herds of sheep being brought in from the mountains and ranges, watering of the herd, counting the sheep, catching the bucks, preparing for the shearing, the shearing itself, sacking the wool for market, and the sheep as they appeal after their wool has been removed. Little scenes of human interest on the ranch give the film an added value.
Released as a split reel along with the comedy The Arrival of Cousin Otto (1912).
