In the interview, Harry talks about an outbreak of “scab”, a skin disease among sheep, in the valley’s herds, and his efforts to get a dip bath set up so that the Navajo could get rid of the infection. Several dip tubs were set up in different areas of Monument Valley and Navajo brought herds in from Arizona, Utah and New Mexico. Harry also describes the parasite that causes scab, the effects of the disease, the dip tubs, and the dipping process.

Harry also talks about sheep shearing and the Navajo way of working with the sheep. Harry says that where they used to use dogs to protect the sheep, now the Navajo use dogs for herding.

He talks about the Navajo’s dogs; describes his preferences for herding dogs; and tells stories about dogs he’s had; including one about movie actress Irene Rich, who gave Harry and his wife their first poodle. He also tells a story about some four horned wild rams that found their way into the breeding population of the Navajo herds and the effects that had on the sheep.
