This world we live in has made me aware of things I take for granted. Things I do not need to think about every day- or sometimes ever. We are lucky to be where we are and the sheep are doing fine. So far so good.
Shearing time has arrived and the covid restrictions have postponed our shearer’s trip to the farm for a while. SO, I gathered up my supplies and will be starting on them myself this weekend. Wheee!
It will be a lot of work BUT it is also some very laid back time to spend with each sheep. They not only have a haircut, we also check their teeth, hooves and their body condition. It helps us in the fall to decide who will move into the group that gets grain for the winter.
Not all of the sheep appreciate being handled up close but the shy sheep generally tolerate me. If you would like to reserve part of anyone’s fleece please send the sheep an email. This will take more time for me to accomplish so we appreciate your patience. Fleeces will be added to the website as each sheep is sheared, or I will contact you.
Stay home, safe and well everyone- smooches from the sheeps!
