Sheepy Ridge Ranch<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Sheepy Ridge Ranch is a farm near the Oregon border. The un-irrigated areas are dry and dusty with little growth. Well water creates luscious meadows of alfalfa; some wheat grows outside of the irrigated crop circles as a remnant of the winter farming pattern. A few cows forage in the fields and the remaining crop is shipped for use as cow feed. The farm is nestled between the Lower Klamath and Tule Lake National Wildlife Refuges. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
