As Jack carried the lamb across the fast-flowing stream, its bleating could be heard over the noise of the rushing water.

Joe Aguirre wants Jack to sleep in the pup tent with a 30/30 in case any coyotes come dangerously close to the sheep.

"F" is fivers

According to Annie Proulx, Jack and Ennis claimed to be saving money for a small spread; in Ennis's case that meant a tobacco can with two fivers inside.

When the two herds of sheep got mixed up, Jack and Ennis hadn't heard the last of it.

"I" is inducement

Joe Aguirre's inducement for having Jack sleep with the sheep is to prevent predator loss at night.

"J" is justifies

To Joe Aguirre, the financial gain in the end justifies the meanness of his policies.
