The herder must be experienced in handling extreme winter conditions on a range so as to prevent death of sheep, goats, horses, and dogs.

Ensure that animals have access to unfrozen water and distribute emergency supplemental feed. Monitor snow levels to prevent sheep/goats from being stranded in deep snow, or caught up against a fence, or stranded in a deep ravine. Herders need to have experience in identifying animals in need of additional nutritional needs, keeping fresh water supply in freezing temperatures, and how to maintain animals in extreme weather conditions.
