Pictures from sheep shearing day

Before ..... And after!! ....

Waiting his turn... impatiently

The actual shearing was about 5 min per sheep. Most didn't even squirm.

Wool, lovely wool!! Or rather, fleece, lovely fleece! This was from just three sheep. There were at least 30 to be shorn!

Sheep Shearing

A farm in Landenberg, PA, the Meadowset Farm and Apiary, has an annual openhouse/sheep shearing day. This year it'll be March 14th beginning around 10am. I've never been but my friend Reluctant Mango said it was a fun little event last year, with spinning demos, sheep shearing (obviously), and finished items for sale. And they shared some homemade lamb chili (yum!).

I think I'm there..... :)
