After 15 years of working with cattle as a cowboy, in 2021 he turned to herding sheep on the plains of Utah's Dixie National Forest. The workday goes from sunup to sundown, and there may be nights when he needs to help the guard dogs scare off a coyote or a mountain lion. A herder has to stay with the sheep 24 hours a day through the roughly 10-month period on the open range—in sun and rain, hail and snow, in temperatures that may climb toward 100 degrees or drop below zero. There are no weekends or holidays off. With the type of nomadic, grueling work and the low wages that most farmers say they can afford to pay, the American sheep industry must depend on more than 200,000 temporary foreign farm workers. A labor shortage resulted from the pandemic, with visa processing and travel restrictions.」4月16日 9時00分
