Summer shearing

Its time to shear the Blue Faced Leicester and the Wensleydale sheep.  I have arranged with Gwen to shear around 30 sheep.  Nine of them will be this years lambs, the rest will be the BFL/ Wensleydale crosses and Romneys that have fleeces so nice I don't dare leave them on any longer.   I have a 3 black lambs and 6 white lambs that will be shorn.  These will be premium fleeces.  Our first lamb fleeces from Wendell our Wensleydale ram.

Friday, July 1st.  in the morning.  If your interested, come on out...its always fun to see the sheep shorn!!

If your interested in a fleece, speak up, I will be offering them to hand spinners first!!
