I just moved away from Buffalo and I can't believe I never got the chance to see your farm. Wish I could have seen the shearing.madder roothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10249101354267447167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8362626549967250083.post-90229977207517059972009-03-29T09:59:00.000-07:002009-03-29T09:59:00.000-07:00Oh, Jen! I SO know how you feel!!I hate shearing ...Oh, Jen! I SO know how you feel!!<BR/>I hate shearing day. I detest stressing my girls. <I>Especially</I> the pregnant ones! I stand over the shearer's shoulder and remind him just how precious each and every one of them is and the fact that she is carrying priceless lambs and exquisite fleece and MUST not be harmed in any way, shape or form. I "oooooo and ahhhhh" over every fleece and am quite emotional over each developing udder. I'm sure the shearer thinks I am nuts. <BR/><BR/>But, I've had the same guy for 5 years and he puts up with me. He know's there's a $10 bonus in it for him if no one gets cut and he just expects to have to take his time and let me clean up and give each sheep a cookie and a calming pat before moving onto the next one.<BR/><BR/>I'm putting it off as long as possible this year!Nancy K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/06061265740359266798noreply@blogger.com
