How about the dogs, horses and mules?

I have more of a problem seeing them tied up all the time...they should have been hobbled and released with the sheep (the mules I mean) and the horses near the campsite

exactly, that is the point I was going to make. the horses and mules could only graze so much tied up, they would have to range free to take full advantage of the mountain pastures. I sure do think that in the real world, they would have hauled some hay up to the mountain for the horses.
and what about the dogs? lots of bacon? elk? ALPO!

only if they really kept them tied up all the time..and that would not be smart....hay is just dried grass...why haul dried grass when you have plenty of rich fresh grass?

Well, if they're truly country type dogs, raised in the back country, aside from bacon, leftovers from our guys' dinners, they would probably supplement their diet with catching ground squirrels and mice and frogs.

trained sheep dogs tend to stay at their posts guarding the sheep, they usually do not leave the scene to go hunting unless they are very hungry.
