" While deer hunting in the fall of 2004 Donald Daugs noticed some bright red berries on a friend’s ranch. He saw plants covered with what he recognized as wolfberries. The current ranchers did not recognize them and did not know where they came from. Just south of the ranch there is a place called Sinks of Dove Creek. This was one of the largest camps devoted to housing Chinese railroad workers when the transcontinental railroad was in its last stages
of construction some 160 years ago. With Wolfberries as one of their food choices, it is inferred that the West Desert plants were either planted by or dropped by the railroad workers.They have survived here for decades with no care and very little water.Rabbits, deer and cattle have dined on leaves and fruit.
