We survived! It wasn't fun but the sheep are all shorn. There are some lovely Romney quality fleeces and a few very nice silvery gray fleeces. First come, first served.
The Fleece Sale by the Side of the Road is still on for this Saturday the 10th.
Here's the link for directions.

Very nice! I'm sure the sheep are only too happy to lose their "coverings" in this tremendous heat.
ReplyDeleteI'm so impressed with Kevin and the bladeshearing! We only use machines- I've tried with blades, but can't get tehm to work properly...
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the fleecesale!
wish someone would sell some fleece on the side of a road around here!
ReplyDeleteAs for the heat, I'll probably run into you as I'm busy make sure I am not living in Houston.
OK-this is too much. My word verification is "ovenete." OVENete OVEN-it is what my brain changed it to. Here's hoping you see COOL-it soon!
