Tradition continues as Dayton residents turn out to see Borda sheep cross Highway 50
About 100 people lined Main Street and Quilici Road early this beautiful Sunday morning to watch the Borda sheep cross Highway 50 and the bridge over the Carson River in Dayton.
The sheep and their herders are on their way up to the high country for the summer. Ted Borda, who with his sisters, Angie Borda Page and Joyce Borda Gavin, manage Borda Ranch Lamb.
The trio believes it is important to keep their family's heritage and tradition alive. Borda Ranch Lamb is one of only a few large sheep ranches still operating in western Nevada and the only one of Basque heritage. 720 ewes and 900 lambs made the trip today.
