Everybody, it seemed, had to wait a long time for sheep shearing day this year. The shearers were behind schedule due to all the heavy rain that we had. We finally got shearing scheduled in early July. This might be the latest we have ever had our sheep sheared but we were so glad to get it done. The Scotties had some really heavy coats.
It was a warm day, which our shearer said he prefers, so that the combs go through the wool and grease more easily. Getting our sheep cleaned up was wonderful and it's always great to talk with our shearer. Now it feels like summer can really begin, even if a little late. :)
