Sheep and cattle grazing was an economic mainstay of the Moab, Utah, area for over 100 years, beginning in the late 1870s. Numerous corrals, line shacks, fence remnants, and sheepherder inscriptions dot the landscape of what is now Arches National Park, attesting to the area's importance as a grazing allotment prior to its inclusion in the NPS. This sheep bell was found about a ½ mile east of the Window's section of the park, and is another reminder of the extensive range of these domestic herds.
