The historic cattle dipping vat on national forest land near Bondurant has been restored. According to the Sublette Examiner, the vat was used routinely from 1936 to 1938 during outbreaks of sarcoptic scabies. Cattle would be dipped in a special mixture to kill the mites. The newly restored vat has a plaque describing the practice and it now bears the brands of the 14 Hoback Basin cattle ranchers who received quarantine orders during its use.
