A 1912 magazine article describing a U.S. Forest Service experiment begun in 1907 on the Wallowa National Forest, Oregon, in which a 2,560-acre coyote-proof fenced pasture was compared with open-range herding of sheep. It reports heavier lamb gains, expected heavier wool clips, lower losses, reduced acreage per sheep and lower labor costs under the pasture system. Illustrated with photographs of the pasture, a ranger and a band of ewes and lambs.
