Shearing is Postponed

On Friday we were fortunate to finally get some snow. Unfortunately this meant the sheep got covered in icy snowballs and are still too wet to shear. The damp wool, and the single-digit temperatures today, means shearing will (hopefully) happen on Wednesday afternoon. In the mean time the sheep are confined to the barn.

Here's the last wooly upload. I haven't taken pictures of the pregnant ewes so close to shearing before, so this post is in part for my own records for future years.

The non-bred ewes (yearlings and Lwaxana) with flash-blue scary eyes.

Poa looking a little grumpy.

Crystal, Mocha, and Kira hanging out in the barn.

Mocha's ready to shed her wool.

Crystal's looking a little round.

Maggie seems like she's hiding a few lambs under all that wool.

Wynona's starting to get friendlier.

I'll post photos and an update when the deed is done.
