Shearing Done

A bit late with my blogging. But we finished the shearing for the year. Several fleeces sold off the shearing floor. Skirting will start in the next few weeks and be up on our web site for sale later.

Getting Ready for Shearing

We got the shearing set-up built yesterday. We rebuild the catch pen and shearing floor each year under the hay barn. As always it looks like we will have snow and rain for shearing. So I am yet again scrambling to see if I can keep all the sheep dry. We will shear 137 this year on Saturday.

March Snows

More snow.

This is the lane under the hay barn. The fence on the right is 4 feet tall.



So far the rams haven't decided to try to escape. The hay seems to be keeping them occupied. It's going to be a very muddy spring when all this melts.
