Tribute to Bill Slaven





Many years ago
my first visit 
to Zamora with 
Lily


Bill testing Lily on sheep and 
declaring her "quite eager"


Zamora range ewes 
possibly last year




Zamora sheep after a good 
rain 
several years
 ago

of the rest of the farm

The Slaven Family and 
friends at awards
ceremony

Peggy Slaven-Wines
and Sandra Massie 
reviewing important
events



Wonderful bagpipe memorial
at the Zamora Hills
SDT in honor
of the spirit
of Bill Slaven

Professor 
of UC Davis 
Veterinary School
Remembering a
strong honest
quiet 
shepherd
and 
resolving what
the truly
important things
are in life


Watching the competitors
from high on the 
rolling green hills
feeling the spirit 
of Bill in the 
breeze and
ever so 
present
in the
sigh
of
the windmill



The flyby in his honor







The fields of 
gold


A sunset
for now
but your
spirit will
be in the 
rolling hills
forever

  1. Wonderful pictures and commentary, Mary. That trial was Bill's dream and his efforts enabled many of us to follow our dreams as well.
