Reportage: Basque sheepherding

In the American West, some things change and some things always stay the same and this is a little of both. For more than a century, sheepherding has been the domain of Basque immigrants from high on the mountain slopes of the Pyrenees of Spain and France. While new immigrants from Chile, Peru and Mongolia are taking their place and mobile phones and other modern convinces are part of the herders kit, the long lonely hours are still the same.
