"V" is violating

Aguirre was violating Forest Service regulations when he told Jack to sleep with the sheep and keep it on the Q.T.

Joseph Aguirre willed that his herder would sleep with the sheep one hundred percent.

  • There's no reins on this one....
"A" is altitudes

At the jump-off, Jack and Ennis chose their horses, packed their mules, marshalled their dogs and headed for the upper altitudes with their wooly charges.

Both Jack and Ennis know their reputation with Aguirre will be improved by bringing down as many sheep as possible at the end of the season.

Ennis and Jack, the dogs, horses and mules, a thousand ewes and their lambs flowed up the trail like dirty water through the timber and out above the tree line into the great flowery meadows and the coursing, endless wind.

"D" is daily

Every morning Jack would make the commute from the sheep to the main tent, have his breakfast and coffee and begin the daily grind.

"E" is expressions

Jack's bitching mainly consists of expressions of disappointment in other people: his father, Aguirre, Lureen, L.D., Bobby, and even Ennis.
