Spring Shearing Day

Sophie getting shorn.  Can you see her front legs? Her head is by Jim's feet.  

Our sheep and goats are feeling a bit lighter these days, after loosing their winter fleeces.  Thomas, our huge Leicester Longwool sheep, has been doing his happy dance, jumping on all four legs, straight up in the air, and then hopping along.  He's such a goof!  The more we laugh, the higher he jumps. 

Now it's time to skirt the fleeces and starting scouring so we'll have finished yarns in time for winter markets.
