Working on ranches in Wyoming, Utah, South Dakota and other states. They were gone for months not knowing how their families were faring back home. They were brave, hard working men with a sense of duty to provide for their families regardless of the cost. Uvalde’s economy grew strong due to the income brought home by the sheep shearers.
