talling acres on the wilson mesa 20 miles east of moab at the foot of the la sal mountain mountains altogether a quarter section of his ranch is in alfalfa and the remainder is covered with large black sage brush which is an added asset in winter feeding as the ewes ees eat enough of the sage brush to scour out their digestive machinery and get enough exercise this thi way may to keep them thriving during the days mr nir robertson feeds his 1200 ewes eves hay he feeds thern about pounds per head and the highest prices his hay has been worth at the NN ison mesa liesa han hab been 10 00 a
