Spring Shearing

Earlier this week I got an email from our shearers. We have had a hard time coordinating a time. They wanted to come tonight between 6 and 7. I knew it would be a late night but we had some hot days this week and the sheep need it badly. Thankfully, they arrived closer to 6. We finished up right at 9. Everyone was tired and dirty but that was a huge chore marked off the list.

The sheep are definitely more comfortable!  A yearling ewe in front. The unshorn rams in the background are slated for freezer camp in a couple of weeks.
