We will be shearing our sheep on Monday, March 11th.
I expect our shearer to be here in the morning (don't have an exact time yet)
and should be done by early afternoon (hopefully).
Anyone that is looking for farm fresh fleeces contact me.
We will be selling fleeces the day of shearing to anyone that might
be interested.
We do have a volunteer crew ready to help in our shearing this year
as it takes several hands to make this day a success.
LAMBS:
We had two ewes that each delivered a single lamb.
This ewe is #174, Iola. A first time mom. She delivered this
very fine white ram lamb this morning when I went out to the barn.
He has tan on his legs and some on his face and a black spot you can
see in the picture below.
Iola was bred to Gordon one of our newer rams that is spotted.
This little guy already has decent horn buds and his fleece looks
of a circular crimp. Iola fleece is white, super fine and very dense.
#103, Olympia delivered this really big ewe lamb this afternoon.
Olympia was bred to TwoTone, he also has spotting, but that
lovely katmoget pattern comes through strong.
This little ewe is a grey katmoget, just like her mom.
We have many more to go and you just never know who is going to deliver next.
...maybe tomorrow?
