Photos today are in the thick of the shearing process. We started at ~9:30 and finished at 1:00 or so. 46 sheep sheared. We didn't do the adult rams because they are outside and it was raining. We will have to shear them on Aaron's next run through WNY.

I am bringing a sheared and inoculated ewe lamb from 2017 back into the fold. Rich got shots done on all the sheared sheep as part of the process. |

Mayhem when you introduce a sheared ewe into the flock. Who is this new girl, she smells different! |

Aaron does a wonderful job keeping the fleeces intact as he shears. |

I wish blogs had smells, cause this smells wonderful. |

Nice to "see" you, Jen!
Ha Ha. I usually try to keep a pretty low profile, but liked the photo with the shearer in the background and my fav. ewe lamb, so decided to step out a little...
