Sheep roam freely on University Road

Apr 21, 2011

The Hopland Research & Extension Center is accessed by University Road which is a county road.  It is one of the last Mendocino County roads with a livestock "cattleguard" ( metal grate-like structure at ground level that prevents livestock from crossing without the need for a gate) maintained by the county.   At times when HREC has sheep grazing in Vassar Pasture, visitors get the thrill of seeing sheep on the road ... literally!
